Hi everyone, we are looking to come to Cyprus from the 26th of December 2012 to the 2nd of January 2013, we are looking to stay in Coral Bay, Paphos as we know the area well but have only been in the summer months, what is the weather likely to be like at this time? are the restaurants, supermarkets, tourist areas closed?! We had heard they dont close up until 4th january? We are hiring a car so would be able to travel to other parts through the day, we are also looking to book a villa but finding most do not have heated pools or charge for this, is it worth paying the extra charge i.e. can we even use it in winter even when heated? Also any key places to visit around cyprus at this time of year would be great to know! many thanks in advance!

Winter can be rainy and relatively cold ... see here for details http://www.cyprus-weather.org/cyprus-we ... n-january/ I wouldn't go for swimming in those months ... too cold for me. But then again it is ok for some people ... so that depends entirely on you and what you can handle! I don't know much about Coral Bay and what will be open in that time of year but things will be certainly much more quiet. What we do in January or February is go to Troodos to play with the snow But that might not be that interesting for you if you are coming from northern Europe!
