The cultural and social life

Cyprus has high temperatures from May to September. From October to March it has a gentle winter climate with lower temperatures and some rain. The highest mountains have snowfall from December to February. People can enjoy regular trips to the mountains and beaches because of the small size of the island. There are many beautiful beaches and mountainous areas to visit. The website of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation is a good source of information.

The island is full of cultural monuments, including Neolithic settlements, classical Greek and Roman monuments, Byzantine and Latin churches and monasteries, Frankish and Venetian fortresses and castles and mosques.

The website of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation carries details of a large number of sports that are available in Cyprus for those who are interested, and which visitors can watch or take part in. They include golf, motor sports, air sports, lawn tennis, swimming, bowling, cycle racing, football, horse riding and marine sports. In winter many Cypriots and foreigners go to ski centres in the snow-covered Troodos Mountains.

Cyprus has a large number of tavernas offering traditional dishes and apéritifs and many restaurants offering various cuisines. There are many entertainment centres in coastal summer resorts such as Agia Napa and in all the cities and districts. A lot of the tavernas and entertainment centres offer Greek music and dancing. There are also many clubs which provide entertainment with modern music until the early hours and have the latest DJs.
