Cyprus weather in January

“Cyprus enjoys the best Mediterranean climate with approximately 340 days of sunshine per year. Paphos has the finest climate on the island with cooler summers and short mild winters.

The swimming season practically starts from April and does not end until
November. Pine forests are close to the coast and it is possible to ski in the mountains and swim in the blue Mediterranean all in the same day”.

I came across the above text while looking through a Cyprus property developer’s advertising material.

The photos below were sent to me this morning by some friends who live in Paphos. Anyone who thinks we are having a “short mild winter” must have been brought up in the Arctic. And anyone who believes they can “ski in the mountains and swim in the blue Mediterranean all in the same day“ on a day like today needs their head examining!
