STILL picking on your dream destination for this summer?
Cyprus is the third-biggest island in the Mediterranean, and it's synonymous with sea, sun, fun, and budget-friendly holiday deals.
When it comes to holiday costs, Cyprus frequently ends up being a cheaper option when compared with other Mediterranean locations like Italy, the South of France or even some of the Spanish islands.
Holidays this summer start from £246pp, including return flights.
During the summer, Cyprus sees highs of 35C almost every day and can sometimes even hit 40C - so sunshine is practically guaranteed.
How to de-clutter if you have a beauty stash to last you a lifetime
For instance, in Paphos, many local bars sell local beer for around €3 (around £2.55).
According to some Tripadvisor reviewers, a bar in Ayia Napa also offers a "€10 for all you can drink" for 60 minutes.
There are many resorts on the island, so you'll have plenty of options for where to stay.
The most well-known ones are Larnaca, Coral Bay, Paphos, and Ayia Napa.
With many beaches, restaurants, and retail shops, Paphos and Coral Bay are great destinations for a family trip or a laid-back getaway.
Ayia Napa, known as the "party city" of Cyprus, is home to several pubs, clubs, and parties, particularly in the summer.
On top of the budget-friendly holidays, the comparatively short travel time — roughly five hours from the UK — is another big draw for Brits going to Cyprus.
Beaches are praised by both visitors and locals, and there are more than 55 Blue Flag spots.
Fig Tree Bay is one of the most famous beaches, renowned for its smooth, white sand beaches.
Another favourite is Ayia Napa's Nissi Beach, which has a lively nightlife and stunning surroundings. Between Protaras and Ayia Napa, Konnos Bay is a hidden gem with peaceful surroundings and calm waves if you're looking for a more sedate experience.
