When is it cheaper to travel to Protaras?
The most "economical" time to visit Protaras is during November, the winter months, or March and early April. However, unlike larger cities, there isn't much happening in Protaras during the low season. There are almost no tourist sights to explore (those you can see in 1-2 days), so visitors come here for the serene atmosphere by the sea and peaceful solitude. We recommend planning your trip to Protaras starting from the second half of April onward. During this period, there's no significant tourist rush yet, but it's a great time to kickstart the swimming season, even though the water can still be quite cool at around +16-18°C.
Summer.
Summer in Protaras comes in mid-May (the water at this time warms up to +20-23°C) and lasts almost until mid-October. Extreme heat (+35-40°C) starts in early July. Although, it should be said that the heat is well tolerated due to the reduced humidity. In principle, there is no need to monitor the weather in Protaras for 5-10 days ahead - the summer is very dry, without cold and precipitation.
Autumn.
Autumn is the start of the velvet season - there's no need to check the weather in Protaras a week in advance until the end of October, when the air warms up to +25-30°C during the day. In addition to beach holidays, early autumn is also the time to admire the spectacular local flora. Tourists are becoming less and less every day, by November only the most resistant remain. Is it worth going to Protaras at this time? If you like a secluded vacation, sea air and good home-made wine, come!
Winter.
Winter in Protaras is good - temperatures don't drop below +15-16°C, there is no snow in Cyprus at all (except in the mountainous areas of Troodos), and frosts are rare. Although before departure it is worth getting acquainted with the weather in Protaras for 14 days - usually it is sunny at this time, but unexpected rains can spoil the vacation. The winter months are the time of maximum rainfall, but there is no clear rainy season in Protaras.
Spring.
It's hard to know exactly when spring starts in Protaras - orchids and almonds bloom as early as the second half of February. In March it is worth checking the weather in Protaras every 3 days - cold and rain are possible, but as a rule the thermometer reaches the +17-20°C mark. In April the weather is like summer weather - up to +25°C and the bravest of the brave open the beach season.
