Spectacular beaches and few tourists: experts named the country in Europe for an autumn vacation
Fewer and fewer sunny beaches and warm harbors remain in Europe in the fall, so the list of countries for beach vacations is significantly reduced with the onset of cold weather. While you can still enjoy the warm Mediterranean atmosphere in September, you'll have to choose more carefully from mid-October.
Experts advise paying attention to Cyprus, where the average temperature in October is 26 °C. It is an ideal Mediterranean resort in the fall and winter months.
Cyprus is an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, located 113 kilometers south of Turkey. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. Tourism has a dominant position in the country's economy and has significantly influenced its multicultural development over the years.
Cyprus is divided into six districts, with centers in the cities of the same name:
- Famagusta;
- Kyrenia;
- Larnaca;
- Limassol;
- Nicosia;
- Paphos.
In particular, Paphos is a fantastic place to immerse yourself in the history of the region. But if you are not a fan of long excursions, Paphos offers a great beach vacation, plenty of entertainment, restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife.
Paphos is a great option for those who want to escape to the sun during the colder months. After the busy summer, October and November are the most pleasant months to enjoy the island without the crowds.
In addition to the beautiful beaches, tourists can also explore the famous Roman ruins, such as the houses of Dionysus, Orpheus, and Aion, as well as visit the picturesque Old Town.
According to OliversTravels experts, one of the most beautiful places near Paphos is the Blue Lagoon, a large swimming pool with calm, clear water.
Another great beach in Cyprus is Petra tou Romiou, known as the Rock of Aphrodite, also near Paphos. According to legend, this is the birthplace of Aphrodite. It is believed that if you swim around the rock three times, you will be blessed with eternal beauty – although the sea here is quite rough, so you shouldn't take unnecessary risks.
