What September is like
Still summer: an average high of 29.4 °C, a low of 19.8 °C, 4.2 mm of rain and about 10 hours of sunshine a day. The sea stays warm long after the school holidays end.
September is the third-warmest month of the year in Paphos and the ninth-wettest, with 1% of the year’s rain. By day it’s 1.6 °C cooler than August and 2.4 °C warmer than October.
Relative humidity at the airport averages 69% in September, against 70% over the year. These are the averages for Paphos Airport, on the coast 9 metres above the sea; Villa Prasino is in Peyia, on a hillside above the sea at Coral Bay, so take them as a guide to the season rather than a forecast.
What’s open in September
- Lifeguards are on duty on Coral Bay’s Blue Flag beach.
- The Kato Paphos archaeological park is open until 19:30 until 15 September, then 08:30–17:00 from 16 September.
- On the turtle beaches of Lara and Toxeftra, the summer rules apply from 1 June to 30 September: no umbrellas, no sunbeds and no visits at night.
Flying to Paphos in September
September 2027 falls in the airlines’ summer 2027 timetable, when all 14 UK airports we cover fly to Paphos. The summer 2027 timetables weren’t out when we read them, so that count is from summer 2026. Our flights to Paphos from the UK page shows which days each airport flies.
Is September a good time to visit?
For the beach and swimming, September is one of the best months: the sea is above 22 °C and the days are almost dry.

What to pack for September
Light clothes, sunhats and plenty of sun cream: the sun is strong and the days are long.
