The vast majority of visitors to Cyprus come in the busy summer months (mid June to end August), then wonder why, after they've spent a small fortune, they didn't end up with a cheap Cyprus holiday package.

In July and August:

• Flights are more expensive - even though Easyjet have new routes to Cyprus, a return flight to the UK in July/August will cost around £280.
• Cheap accommodation is hard to find when Cyprus self catering villas cost around £850 a week and even a small private appartment will set you back about £450 a week.
• If you are looking for a cheap Cyprus hotel in August, you may be unlucky unless you opt for a package deal which not everyone wants with their restrictions.
• And as for getting a car, cheap Cyprus hire in the summer months is pretty difficult as rental cars are so much in demand. You can easily spend £200 for a week's car hire in August. No wonder some people think cheap holidays in Cyprus don't exist!

Here are some tips:

• July and August are not the only months with guaranteed sunshine. The weather is still gloriously sunny almost every day in May/June and Sept/October, prices are cheaper and you will often find bargain holidays to Cyprus in these months too.
• If you're a last minute.com type holiday booker, think about planning your Cyprus holidays a little more than usual.

  For example, take cheap airfares. Cyprus is over four hours flying time from the UK so a difficult destination for low cost airlines as they tend to stick to flight destinations a maximum of three hours away. Whilst Easyjet have now decided to fly here, their cheapest flights are on a first come first served basis.

  But if you have to book last minute we'd suggest comparing prices from the low cost flight websites with ALSO the charter companies themselves. Thomas Cook and Thomsonfly for example, often have late flight bargains to Cyprus dependent on their sell through on holiday package deals.

• Look for a cheap Cyprus hotel on travel websites specialising in hotel bookings, like Alpha Rooms.
• For ultra cheap holidays in Cyprus go for a BUDGET HOTEL ROOM and check out Hostelbookers.
• If you're planning a special interest holiday in Cyprus like diving, cycling, hiking or fishing, think about asking your tour company for advice on cheap places to stay in Cyprus and/or cheap car rental in Cyprus.

  This is especially true if your specialist tour company is based in Cyprus as they will have close contacts with other local businesses and can often get you a great deal.

• If you are self catering, don't just head for the nearest big supermarket to get your groceries. Whilst prices are cheaper for many items, branded goods that you are used to will almost certainly cost a LOT more eg. Flora spread, butter, cheddar cheese or UK branded cleaning products.

  Our tips for cheap holidays in Cyprus self catering style would be to:

  A) Buy the Cypriot brand equivalent

  B) Consider buying more Cyprus orientated foods like salads, pork (very cheap!), halloumi or feta cheese rather than cheddar

  C) Eat lots of fruit and vegetables - stick to seasonal produce grown in Cyprus (look for the Kypros label at the froutaria) for the cheapest ingredients.

• Finally, for really cheap holidays in Cyprus, consider a visit in the low season months. From November to March there is a greater likelihood of rain but most of the time, the weather is fantastic and best of all, flights, accommodation and car hire is all very VERY cheap.

  With an appartment at £250 per week, car hire at £55, a bargain flight at £100 and about £100 per person for spending money, a holiday for two in Cyprus could cost as little as GBP£300 per person.

  Now that IS a bargain, Cyprus style.
