Can I Use My Phone Data?

When you arrive at the Airport be very careful when turning on your Data as you might pick up Turkey who are not in the EU and you will be CHARGED by your network provider. We advise wait until you are officially out of the airport to then connect your data.

Will I need a Cardigan while in Pefkos?

We have decided to give you a Cardigan Rating for each month:

When can I swim in the sea?: The sea here in resort is extremely clean and the beach is sandy and has a low slope gradient making swimming conditions perfect.
Please be aware that there are no life guards on any of the beaches in Pefkos.
Will I need Air conditioning?: Again, this is down to personal preference. Almost certainly in July and August you will need AC. However some people prefer to open windows or use a fan if provided. It is unlikely that you will need AC in May or October as the weather is much more bearable and we experience some breezes which help to cool things down.

The average sea temperatures are below:
