Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/cyprusescape.com\/cyprus-weather-april\/\">April<\/a>, the weather does not have so many crazy spells and the rain season is pretty much done by this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prices_Resorts_in_May\"><\/span>Prices &amp; Resorts in May<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The prices are also a lot more competitive as the official start of the season is at the end of the month, so you can grab yourself a nice bargain in terms of accommodation prices and flight tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The small noticeable increase in tourist numbers only starts during Easter time (in April), when most of the resorts are already open, so you won&#8217;t have any issues finding suitable accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seawater also starts to get to the temperature that&#8217;s acceptable to most people and it continues rising the closer you get to June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most local businesses that were closed for the winter start to reopen their doors at the end of March or during April, so there&#8217;s also zero chance you will miss out on any of the local experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I popped some photos below from last year, taken in May for a little inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_in_May_in_Cyprus\"><\/span>What to Do in May in Cyprus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>May is the ideal time to explore the great outdoors in Cyprus &#8211;
