October is one of the best times to visit Cyprus. While days in Central Europe are already getting shorter and cooler, the Mediterranean island still offers summer-like weather. Daytime temperatures usually range between 25 and 28°C (77–82°F), and the sea remains pleasantly warm at around 24°C (75°F) – perfect for swimming.
Another advantage: the intense heat of midsummer is gone, making excursions to the Troodos Mountains or visits to historical sites like Kourion and Paphos much more comfortable. October is also a great month for hiking through the wine regions or along the scenic coastal trails.
Since the peak season is coming to an end, beaches and tavernas are no longer overcrowded, allowing for a more relaxed and authentic experience. Autumn festivals celebrating wine and olives also give visitors a taste of local culture.
Whether you’re into swimming, hiking, culture, or gastronomy, holidays in Cyprus in October combine sunny days with a laid-back atmosphere – the perfect mix for anyone looking for summer vibes without mass tourism.
