This means that goods and services are available at a cheaper rate for tourists. Perfect for when you&#8217;re trying to grab some family time in the sun or grab a quick couples escape without going bust.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why the Canaries are so accessible is the sheer range of accommodation. From bargain-basement rooms to five-star luxury resorts, you can find all of them on these islands. The beauty part is, because the resort towns are generally grouped around the coast, you&#8217;ll never be too far from a sunny beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the undulating terrain of these volcanic islands ensures there are a host of free activities to try too.

But there&#8217;s more than just a glittering coastline and splendid sunshine driving tourists to this hotspot each year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_The_Flight_Time_From_UK_to_Cyprus\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #0ab902;\">What&#8217;s The Flight Time From UK to Cyprus?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>A flight from the UK to Cyprus takes around<strong> 4 hours 30 minutes<\/strong>. Larnaca and Paphos are the most popular destinations with flights leaving for these sunny spots weekly all-year round. However, flights increase exponentially when you move into the summer months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cyprus-aerial.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cyprus-aerial.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Cyprus coast\" class=\"wp-image-29807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cyprus-aerial.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cyprus-aerial-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebaytravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cyprus-aerial-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cyprus is an idyllic sunny escape.

Flights will be reasonably cheap, but it&#8217;s the cost of the trip once you&#8217;re there which starts to stack up &#8211; when taken in comparison to the other destinations on this list.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By way of an example, the measure we&#8217;ve been using so far is the cost of a 3-course meal at a mid-range restaurant (so a nice evening meal). In Cyprus, this will cost around<strong> \u00a350-60<\/strong>. Which is around 3 times the cost of the same experience in Egypt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Should_You_Visit_Cyprus\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff4880;\">Why Should You Visit Cyprus?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n<p>If you have a little more wiggle room in your bargain mid-haul holiday budget, then we&#8217;d recommend splurging on Cyprus. Not just because of the stunning resorts, but for the incredible range of unique activities it offers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beach bums can kick back on some of the leading beaches in Europe like Nissi Beach, Fig Tree Bay or Coral Bay. On the other hand, history buffs can check out sites of extraordinary old-world significance like the Tombs of the Kings in Paphos or the Roman Amphitheater in Kourion.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s all before we talk about the hiking trails of the Akamas Peninsula or the incredible gastronomic scene that will have foodies salivating at the mere thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Top 10 Things To Do In Cyprus - Cyprus Travel Guide\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b2sV8n3Bm0E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_Your_Mid-Haul_Marvel_Today\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #fd6b2b;\">Choose Your Mid-Haul Marvel Today<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>That seductive septuplet of options offers a range of landscapes and destinations for your next break.
