In the first days of November, Cyprus meets the last wave of tourists from Russia before Christmas. The small school holidays provide an additional holiday which enables tourists to take the last sip of sunlight and heat before the long winter.
And Cyprus is trying not to let go! Usually the weather changes closer to the middle of November : it becomes cooler, the sky is often clouded, rainfalls are more regular, torturing the summer sun.

Things to do in Cyprus in November
The time for winter’s fans and the out-of-season resort lovers in Cyprus begins. Half of the taverns are closed for the winter, the tourist areas of the cities are empty, the number of rented cars is sharply reduced, making the situation on the roads much safer.
The island is immersed in sweet slumber, and sitting on a bench by the sea is perfect to dream together, looking at the setting sun peeking from behind the clouds.
Cool drinks on the table are replaced by hot tea and coffee, a fire’s sparks tremble in the fireplace and a glass of red intense Marathftiko wine replaces the cold white Xynisteri (more about it in Cyprus’ wines). The spicy scent of rosemary and lamb replace the subtle aroma of seafood: you want real food, which warms the body and soul.
In fine weather, plan a trip to the zoo.
The island begins to prepare for one of the major holidays of the year – Christmas. Shops and public places are decorated with ornamental Christmas trees and Santa Clauses. The multi-colored tinsels and Christmas toys create a special mood anticipating the holidays.
Cyprus’ quiet autumn is good for pilgrimages at the Christian temples on the island.
Lastly but most importantly, the evening meal in one of the taverns will be a worthy completion of another long day of adventure and positive emotions.
