Tourism Resilience: Hoteliers’ association Pasyxe says Cyprus tourism is cautiously improving after the Middle East-linked booking slump, with cancellations easing since March/April and flight schedules largely maintained to protect the island’s “safe and reliable” image.

Passport Power: The Henley Passport Index 2026 ranks Cyprus among the world’s strongest passports (13th), with visa-free access to 175 destinations—useful for holiday planning. Family Holiday Picks: A new guide highlights Cyprus as a strong family option, from Ayia Napa’s beach-and-waterpark mix to Paphos’ smart family hotels and cooler high-altitude escapes. On-the-ground Heat Safety: A practical Cyprus guide focuses on beating summer temperatures without a private pool, spotlighting public parks and municipal pool/hill escapes.
