For Great Watersports Holidays, Don't Overlook Cyprus!

If you love the excitement of watersports, then you've probably visited many different holiday hotspots to try out their water based offerings. If you mention the words ‘scuba diving’ to most people, it conjures up images of Australia and its stunning reef. While it’s undeniable that you can enjoy some fantastic watersports there, don't forget smaller and less familiar destinations, such as Cyprus.

For most people, holidays in Cyprus are not synonymous with watersports - that's a real shame, because there’s a huge variety of watersports that you can enjoy there. One of its greatest selling points for watersports holidays is the fact that Cyprus is covered with blue flag beaches, which are kept hygienic, very safe and well looked after. This means that whatever area you stay in, and whatever watersports you're looking for, it won't be too hard to find one of these fantastic beaches for your pleasure.

Watersports Fun at Any Time of Year

Because Cyprus has a temperate climate throughout the year, you can visit any time you like and still enjoy your watersports holidays there. The disadvantage of other more celebrated watersport locations is that they can be hugely affected by dangerous weather systems, such as hurricanes and vicious tropical storms – potentially disrupting your ability to enjoy the watersports that you went for in the first place.

Another great thing about watersports in Cyprus is the variety of different coastal terrains, allowing for every type of watersport you can imagine. For a more sedate watersports holiday, the many beautiful bays offer shelter from winds and rough seas, allowing you to swim, water ski or canoe -everything else is just plain sailing! If you prefer more challenging watersports, the more exposed coastal areas provide fantastic surfing opportunities and ideal conditions for wind sailing or kite surfing.

Hotels in Cyprus for Watersports Lovers

There are plenty of hotels in Cyprus that cater for fans of the sea. If you choose one of the hotels in Cyprus located right on the beach, you can hop out of bed and straight into your wetsuit, and dive into the beautiful Mediterranean waters. Some of these hotels in Cyprus will offer special deals for watersports that they’ve arranged through local companies.

Ultimately, Cyprus is the ideal place for your watersport holidays because you can find every single type there. The Mediterranean provides great conditions for watersports in every season. It also plays host to some incredible dive sites, including the Zenobia shipwreck, and you'll have plenty of photo opportunities while you swim around with the multi-coloured fish, in and out of the incredible underwater cave systems.
