Why do tourists go for skiing when it’s cold? Same answer.

Most people are tied to school holidays, as a result there are more flights in the summer, more places are open etc. Its pretty common in any tourist place (except for some ski-related), not only Cyprus

Everyone has a different perspective based on where they grew up or lived.
I’ve always lived in a hot climate with very few months of winter, but once I moved to Cyprus, even those are not comparable to how cold it gets here.

Because for many decades Cyprus has been primarily marketed as a summer location with either chill family vibes by the beach or „get shitfaced“ party vibes. Even those that come in the non-summer months still overwhelmingly look for beach activity and sunny weather.
Things that make a place worthwhile to visit outside of the summer (cultural events, history, winter resorts, non-beach related nature) are not well-known at all. This is precisely why there have been recent pushes to inject Cyprus‘ winter tourism with more money and aggressive marketing.

Spring is best as the businesses are pleased to see you. Autumn is lovely for the sea being very warm but there is sometimes a bit of fatigue at the restaurants etc.

Because that’s when schools close and when people generally take their vacation and that’s when you don’t have to worry about rain spoiling your vacation.

They don’t need cold. They have cold.

They got money, they got hotels, they got beaches, they got casinos and bars. Most tourism to north from certain places don’t even need to be sightseeing. Just sit at the beach and casino all day.

apart from school and vacation days lining up, for people who dont see hot summers, the idea of having a hot summer where you can go swimming in the sea and tan or whatever is a desirable thing

I’m a brit. When I go on holiday to Cyprus I have suncream, ac, a pool and shade so I can deal with the sun/heat as much as I want to. 30ish degrees feels gorgeous after being in a cold country all year.

May and June are the best months of the year in my opinion. If May wasn’t so windy it would be perfect

I assume you are Cypriot.
When somebody is born and live in gray, cold, rainy, and snowy country, ‚too hot‘ you mention is heaven on earth. Doesn’t matter if they get burns, occasional melanoma, or sunstroke.
Cypriots do not understand in which climate a lot of people live, harsh climate.

I live in the UK, I am in Cyprus now as it’s still warm for me here now in January and the price is really cheap, without the crowd. It’s nice to get some winter sun. I would not come during summer as it’s school holiday time, with the prices 5 times more expensive and way more people.
The hot weather? Yes please!! 2 years ago I lived in Scotland where we had exactly 5 days of „summer“ where I could wear a T-shirt only and not being chilly, so the hotter the better.
