Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of booking to come to Protaras on 4/5 of October for a week with hubby (his first time in Cyprus and he's a sun worshipper). I have read previous posts about the weather in October there seems to be quite a few reports of sunny weather in the mid 70's but also quite a bit of rain. looking on the web there seems to be conflicting reports. Obviously nobody could tell me exactly what i could expect, but could anyone give me an idea judging maybe from last year. I'm unsure of what to pack. last year I went in 16th Sept for a week with my mum and it was gorgeous 30s everyday.
I stayed at Tsokkos gardens apts on self catering. the restaurants nearby served the most gorgeous food. However it was a little pricey I would definitely recommend eating out at least some of the time. If anybody wants any info on Tsokkos gardens ask away. Just one more thing, sorry, does anyone know what hotel is situated at the end of the Tsokkos gardens apts drive? I remember it beginning with a P but as theres a few in that area I cant work it out! the reason i want to know is that I dont fancy booking there. It seemed very noisy!! maybe it was just that noise travels more at night but it sounded very butlinsy type. (no offense to anyone who likes that kind of thing) I just prefer something a little more peaceful.
thanks for reading

hi fizzy, i can report on the weather as i have been late sept/ early october for the last 3 years. the worst weather we had was when we arrived 7th oct for two weeks and had maybe one night and a couple of odd hours of rain in a fortnight. other than that its pretty much 27- 32 degrees. At night,late on ,it can get slightly cool,maybe 16 degrees and if you sit outside you may want to wear a light jacket. this year we're going from the 24th sept to 7th oct and expect it to be as hot as you can stand for the most of it . put it this way, last year in the first week of october the glue on my sunglasses melted and the lens fell out!!
We were in Protaras last year last week of Sept and 1st week of Oct. it was about 30 the whole time, I was roasted as I don't tan lol. Never seen any rain. It was warm enough to sit outside to eat/drink at night , never needed a jacket etc.
We are of to Protaras on 8th October,Have been there four out of the last five years at this time,It has rained but never enough to spoil more than an hour or so.
We went to Protaras the first week in October last year, it was lovely weather, hotter than I had expected around 80s plus. It rain once while we were there for about an hour, very heavy but soon moved on.
The reps at our hotel were really excited about the rain as they had not seen any for months, they even lay on the sunbeds eventhough it was torrential.

and made me thinking about the reps on the sunbeds I doubt very much they would do that in sunny Leicester :D. I think we've decided upon the Iliada Hotel and going all inc with the price rises it might be a safer bet to go all inc. Anyone been there? I have read some very good reviews about this hotel. I was thinking about Tsokkos gardens but being on the beach would be better probably. Also reading between the lines it shouldn't I hope ,be so busy being in the heart of things in October. I cant wait to book now hope that those of you are going soon have a brilliant time.

Lovely during day, slightly cooler at night. Slight breeze. Lovely. Means that it's not too warm in pubs at night. Trev
I go on September 24th to Oct 5th,been before this time of year and never had bad weather...a fair few of there at the same time,you never know our paths might cross,have a great time anyway and enjoy the sun!
We prefer self catering, so any tips on good apartments please would be very much appreciated.
Cheers
Deb
We have stayed at the Brilliant in Protaras and the Seagull in Pernera, and would be quite happy to stay in either again. We are staying in Ayia Napa this year for 2 weeks from the 27th, will still be eating in Pernera sometimes though, as we like the restaurants there.
We are staying at the Iliada from the 6th of October for two weeks, stayed there many times make a list of what you want to know about the hotel

I can't spend anymore time there at the momenmt as i'm decorating the house ready to sell it so I can move out there permanently.
I can't complain though as this will be my third trip of the year and one of those was for three months.
