Hi sweep,



wouldnt count on the pool being heated the indoor pool which is not really indoors is not possibly going to be heated due to miscalcalations of size and costing to heat up. This came from the management company when i was over last week.



I spoke to a local who said December is still T shirt weather 18ish deg but cold in the evening

Hi

I used to spend every Christmas & New Year in Cyprus. Usually it is warm enough most days for short sleeves - even swim in the sea if you're brave enough to try. But come 4 pm it's dark, and does get COLD. Because of the humidity soft furnishings can feel damp and cold, so I for one definately would not think you strange if you brought electric blankets! Daytime temperatures generally though are good.

Hope you enjoy!

Regards

Jo Valentine

Sweep it's always worth a trip because no matter how cold it is here it is always better than the UK and the bright sunshine (however weak) will make you feel better. Bring a wetsuit if you want to swim though!!
