(4) A fine day in Larnaca

The climate in Larnaka goes well with its beaches. Its Mediterranean climate is a good fit due to long summers and mild winters. The hot season is from July to September while dry periods happen between May and July.

July is the perfect month to get to the beach because this is the driest month. October, on the other hand, happens to be the wettest. Beach bums might want to take note of avoiding this month due to the amount of rainfall that occurs during this period.

Transportation
