Every visitor to Cyprus is counted, and recorded against the country they live in. These are the figures for August 2026 — the most recent month published — next to the same month a year earlier.

The fastest-growing market is Israel, up 28.4% on the same month last year. The sharpest fall is France, down 46.0%.

Arrivals in August 2026, by country

Change is against the same month a year earlier — Cyprus is far too seasonal for month-on-month to mean anything.

Why the mix matters

Different markets want different holidays, and the mix shows up everywhere on the island — in which resorts fill first, in how long rooms are booked for, and in what visitors spend once they arrive. The British have been the largest single market for the whole of this record, but they no longer dominate it the way they once did.

Two pages follow that thread: where each nationality actually stays and what they spend per day.
