First things first: Cypriots absolutely adore children. Honestly, if you’ve ever felt judged for taking your kids out to a restaurant, Cyprus will feel like heaven. Staff chat to your little ones, locals smile at them, and you get this warm, relaxed atmosphere that makes parenting abroad so much easier.
Then there’s the safety factor. Cyprus is one of the safest countries in Europe, and that gives you permission to breathe. You can wander the harbours in the evening, explore cute villages, and let older kids have a tiny bit more independence than you might at home.
One thing UK families absolutely love? Driving on the left! It sounds small, but it makes such a difference. Hiring a car is hands-down the best way to explore, and because you’re not relearning the rules of the road, you can actually enjoy the scenery instead of stressing.
And let’s not forget the weather — over 300 days of sunshine a year means you’re pretty much guaranteed a proper beach holiday. No more crossing your fingers and hoping it doesn’t rain just as you unpack your swimsuit.
Add in English-speaking locals, brilliant value for money, and more family-friendly activities than you could ever fit into one trip, and you’ll understand why Cyprus is such a hit with UK families.
If you’re after a destination that keeps the kids happy while still giving you that “I’m actually on holiday” feeling, Cyprus is the one.
Trust me — once you’ve been, you’ll want to come back again and again.
