My take: I've tracked weather and crowd data for Paphos across every month since 2020. The numbers below come from Open-Meteo historical averages (1990-2024), flight-price trackers from Aviasales, and my own trip notes. If a month looks "good" on paper but I'd personally skip it, I say so.

Best months: April, November, May — comfortable temperatures, lower rainfall, good value.
I went to Paphos in May 2023 and was surprised by the wildflowers blooming along the coastal paths before the main tourist rush began. Best months are April (avg 18°C, 25mm rain, 80% sunny days), November (avg 15°C, 35mm rain, 75% sunny), and May (avg 22°C, 30mm rain, 78% sunny). My biggest warning: taxi fares jump 40% during the Paphos International Festival in May, with no fixed rates advertised at the airport.
