Famagusta Weather in North Cyprus

For your holiday in North Cyprus, the Salamis Bay Conti Resort Hotel guarantees comfort, whatever the weather.

Spring weather in Famagusta is a beautiful time of year, where the mountains and plains are covered in wild flowers. The island is green and lush, and the temperatures rise steadily towards a pleasant 70 degrees by the start of May. If you’re planning a walking holiday in North Cyprus, this is the ideal time to come. The Karpas Peninsula is within an easy drive, and certainly the full 5km walk around the ruins of nearby Salamis will give you plenty of exercise!

During the summer weather, the skies rarely cloud over and every sun lover flocks to the sandy beaches around Famagusta. With temperatures rising to 80 degrees, the midday sun is very strong, so make sure you do your sightseeing in Famagusta either in the cool of the morning, or later afternoon. After all, that’s just another excuse to stop at a café for a cool drink, lunch of a Turkish Cypriot speciality such as lahmacon, followed by Turkish coffee and a slice of baklava! Always wear a hat when out in the strong Northern Cyprus sunshine and frequently apply high factor sunscreen. Of course, all that sunshine is ideal for enjoying water sports in Salamis Bay, or take the plunge and try scuba diving in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Many consider the autumn weather to be the best time to visit North Cyprus, with warm, sometimes hot, daytime temperatures, followed by cooler nights. You’ll need a light jacket during the evening when enjoying a meal at a Famagusta restaurant or strolling the old city streets, but during the day you’ll be in shorts and teeshirts until mid October.

Winter temperatures in Famagusta rarely approach freezing, and the balmy days are ideal for exploring some of the hidden delights around Famagusta, such as the Tombs of the Nobles. At night, it’s good to know that your room or bungalow at the Salamis Bay Conti Resort Hotel has central heating!
