If you are looking for a unique European getaway, it’s no secret that Cyprus should be at the top of your bucket list. As the third largest island in the Mediterranean, this country has fantastic weather, a rich culture, and is overflowing with things to see and do this autumn. The great news is that while it may be the end of peak season, there’s still so much on offer that you simply won’t want to miss out.
September and October are seasonably warm, with temperatures falling anywhere between 78 and 93 Fahrenheit, with very little chance of high winds or rain. This means that you can still go to the sea, spend days visiting local landmarks, and enjoy balmy evenings no matter what part of the country you visit. You won’t have to worry about taking stunning videos, as CapCut is the leading video editing platform and has a video stabilizer that will take even the most shaky footage and make it look stable, while upscaling for a professional finish. Here are the top things to do in the fall that you’ll want to remember forever:
Visit churches
Cyprus is well-known for having some of the most beautiful churches in the world and whether you want to visit a monastery, a Byzantine church, old ruins, or the most popular cathedrals, it really does have it all. There are tiny chapels where you can stop by and light a candle for a loved one, to swathing architecture that preserves precious cultural heritage; so there’s something for everyone.
Take a boat trip on the Blue Lagoon in Paphos
Cyprus is home to the stunning Akamas National Park, and while the area has some gorgeous scenery, the only way to have an amazing experience is to visit the Blue Lagoon. This rocky bay has crystal clear waters and stunning vistas so a boat trip should definitely be on the cards. With everything from daily cruises to excursions that provide boat rides as part of a package, the fall is a great time to avoid the tourists without missing out on the great weather.
Dive the Zenobia Wreck
Diving at one of the largest wrecks in the world is sure to be high on any diver’s list. The Zenobia wreck is over 100m long and is parked just outside of Larnaca. It’s been rated as one of the best dive sites in the world and it isn’t hard to see why. The sheer mass and volume of this wreck will keep you busy for multiple dives.
Take part in a festival
Cyprus plays host to some of the most traditional festivals, so why not get involved with a beer or wine festival; many are run by microbreweries and breweries all across the island, but you’ll find the highly sought-after Septemberfest in Nicosia, the Limassol Wine Festival in October, and even a wine tour to the Troodos Mountains. There is also a carob festival in Agios Georgios Pegeias Church, Paphos and the Ayia Napa Medieval Festival that are not to be missed – and if you stick around until November, you could get involved with the annual mushroom festival in Troodos or the Cyprus International Film Festival instead.
Cyprus isn’t only for the summer!
While this Mediterranean gem is certainly vibrant in the summer, the fall has some fantastic attractions to keep you entertained if you want to miss the crowds. Don’t forget to keep CapCut in mind with their YouTube video editor and myriad of photo and video editing software to preserve your memories for years to come.
