The climatic conditions, the unpolluted sea and the interesting coastline make Cyprus an interesting and up-coming destination for yachting. 3 marinas, 5 ports, 11 fishing shelters and numerous bays provide shelter from the prevailing moderate westerlies. Even during the winter months, yachtpersons will be surprised by the temperate sailing conditions – with air and sea temperatures around 17C – competing with early summer back home.
