(EuroNews) – By the end of the summer, even beaches that are close to large resorts have transformed into pristine sandy stretches where sea turtles outnumber humans.
Last year at this time, Manchester was experiencing such heavy rain that I wasn’t sure the plane would be able to take off. However, when we finally touched down in Larnaca four hours later, it felt as though the summertime had never ended.
There were lovely warm breezes and sea temperatures ideal for late-season swims in place of the sweltering heat that can make Cyprus feel more like a jungle than a Mediterranean island idyll in the peak tourist season from July to September.
Cyprus enjoys up to 340 days of sunshine annually, and because of its location in the southeast of the Mediterranean, the island’s beaches beckon well into November without any of the summertime throngs.
According to Grant, there is a beachfront scene in Cyprus for every taste, ranging from beaches that are close to large resorts to undeveloped sandy stretches where there are more sea turtles than humans.
