Limassol hotels are around 90% full in August, while Larnaca is about 15% below last year. Protaras and Ayia Napa are also expecting occupancy to approach full capacity in the coming weeks.

Limassol Maintains Strong Demand
Hotels in Limassol are matching last year’s August booking levels, according to Christos Tsanos, president of the Cyprus Hotels Association branch in the city.
Prices have largely remained stable, with increases in most categories limited to around 5%. Tsanos said Limassol’s appeal among higher-income visitors was also supporting demand.
Larnaca Still Feels Regional Impact
Larnaca hotel occupancy is around 15% below last year in both July and August. Marios Polyviou, head of the local hotel association, said the city had been particularly affected by the conflict in the Middle East.
August began with occupancy at approximately 75%, compared with around 90% in 2025. Hoteliers are hoping for more last-minute bookings, while September reservations are showing a more positive trend.
Paphos And Famagusta See Stronger Demand
Paphos is showing signs of recovery, with improvements to the seafront and key tourist areas following a municipal clean-up campaign.
Hotels in Protaras and Ayia Napa are expecting occupancy of 90% to 95% over the next two to three weeks. Demand is being driven by visitors from the UK, Israel and Scandinavian countries, alongside domestic bookings.
