There are always things to do in Cyprus, regardless of the weather. Because you can always find a place on this island where is not raining, and, if you don’t want to travel, you have plenty of choices locally.
Let’s see 5 things you can do on a bad weather day on The Island of Cyprus.
1. Find a place without rain
Check the weather app, see where it is not going to rain, and go visit.
In my experience, and I have been following the weather forecast for many years, you will find places on the island that will not be affected by the bad weather. And if it doesn’t say at least 80% chance of rain, then it will probably not rain at all.
And since we have just 180 km of motorway from one side to the other, it will not be that difficult to reach a place with good weather if you have a car.
2. Visit Nicosia
Go to Nicosia – old town. And if it starts raining, go visit the museums there.
The old town in Nicosia is a nice place to visit. And now, with the new square they fixed at the entrance, it is even better.
But before you go, make a list of the museums in the area, just in case you need to take cover from the rain.
And here you can find a list of all the museums you can visit in Nicosia.
📍 The Cyprus Museum
📍 The Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia
📍 Cyprus Classic Motorcycle Museum
📍 Cyprus Folk Art Museum

3. Check out the Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa
If there is no rain, just clouds, then it is the perfect time to visit the Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa. No sun, no heat, that means you get to enjoy it.
4. Choose your Pub and enjoy the drinks and food
If you don’t feel like traveling, find your PUB and enjoy the food, drinks and music.
I guess this is the easiest thing to do on a bad weather day here on the island. Or, if you are not a pub person, then we have so many coffee shops you can choose from…
5. Go shopping at the Mall
We might not have the best Malls on this island (because we don’t), but they can be useful on a rainy day. For you and half the population from the cities if it is weekend time. We have one Mall in Larnaca, Limassol and Paphos and two in Nicosia.
What NOT to do in Cyprus in a bad weather
1. The most important thing would be not to venture on small, country roads on a heavy rain. Because there is a big change it will be a lot of water, so better stay safe.
2. Do not walk on the streets in heavy rain. Usually, it will pass in a few minutes, so there is no reason for you to catch a cold.
