Find and Book Cheap Flights to Cyprus, Comparing the Best Plane Tickets

Winter is ideal for those looking for the cheapest plane tickets to Cyprus and wanting to avoid crowds. Enjoy the mild Mediterranean winter and explore the island's interior.

Spring brings pleasant temperatures, ideal for outdoor activities and exploring archaeological sites. This is a great time to buy Cyprus plane tickets before the summer price jump.

Summer is the peak season, meaning the highest Cyprus plane ticket prices and the biggest crowds. It is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the vibrant nightlife of Ayia Napa.

Autumn is an ideal time to travel as sea temperatures are still warm, and crowds have decreased. Affordable Cyprus plane tickets become more accessible, and the weather is perfect for cultural events.

Cyprus drives on the left side of the road, which is crucial for travelers from Croatia. Renting a car offers the greatest freedom to explore the island, especially more remote beaches and mountain villages. Roads are well maintained, and rental prices are reasonable outside the peak season. Public transport, mainly buses, connects major cities and popular tourist centers, but can be slower and less flexible for excursions. For shorter city routes, taxis are available, but check the price before the ride. Consider buying a weekly bus pass if you plan to use public transport frequently within the region.

Cyprus offers a wide range of accommodation. In popular resorts like Ayia Napa and Limassol, you will find large hotel complexes and all-inclusive offers. For a more authentic experience, consider staying in traditional houses in villages like Lefkara or Kalopanayiotis. Rental apartments and villas are popular among families and groups, offering flexibility and the possibility of self-catering. Accommodation prices are highest during the summer months, so booking in advance, especially if you are looking for cheap Cyprus plane tickets, can significantly reduce costs.

Cyprus is generally a very safe destination with a low crime rate, similar to Croatia. However, as everywhere, be careful in places with many tourists. Watch your personal belongings on beaches and in crowds. Minor scams may include inflated taxi prices; always insist on using the meter or agree on the price in advance. Be aware of the political situation and avoid crossing the 'Green Line' in Nicosia without proper documentation. Always have a copy of your passport and important numbers handy. Driving in Cyprus requires extra attention due to driving on the left side, so be especially careful when renting a car.

Cypriot culture is a blend of Greek and Mediterranean influences. People are extremely hospitable and appreciate kindness. It is customary to greet with 'Yiasas'. Tipping is common in restaurants and for services (around 10%). When visiting churches and monasteries, dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees. Lunch is often the most important meal of the day, and dinner starts late, around 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM. Try to avoid discussions about political issues. To feel less like a tourist, look for traditional taverns in smaller villages instead of those in the main tourist areas. There you will experience true Cypriot warmth and cuisine.

Cypriot cuisine is a paradise for food lovers, combining Greek and Middle Eastern elements. Meze is indispensable, a series of small dishes that are shared, including halloumi cheese, souvlaki (skewers), and sheftalia (spicy sausages). Try fresh fish in coastal towns. Wine has a long tradition; Commandaria is the oldest wine in the world. Coffee is drunk slowly, often with sweets like baklava. TICKETS.HR's tip for a maximum experience: Visit the local market in Nicosia early in the morning to try seasonal fruits and olives directly from the producers. It is the perfect place to buy authentic souvenirs and experience local life.

Cyprus offers diversity, from beaches to the Troodos Mountains. For a week, focus on the southwest (Paphos for history and beaches) or the southeast (Larnaca/Ayia Napa for fun and family holidays). If you have two weeks, include Nicosia, the capital, and explore the mountains. The best time to visit is spring or autumn, when the weather is warm but not too hot. Always keep in mind that direct flights to Cyprus from Croatia are less frequent, so plan time for layovers. Use the TICKETS.HR Cyprus flight search engine to find the most efficient routes. Don't forget to visit Aphrodite's Rock, the mythical birthplace of the goddess.
