Car Hire prices in Cyprus

Cyprus is a sun-kissed island boasting good food and lots of sunshine and it's relatively cheap to visit too. The island has been influenced by many cultures over the years and boasts Roman, Byzantine, Greek and British features but it has developed its own character.

Get behind the wheel
Public transport is not available to many of the remote areas in Cyprus; car hire offers a good alternative because it is relatively cheap and gives you the freedom to roam. The roads are fairly good, four-lane motorways link the capital Lefkosia with popular beach towns. Many of the minor and rural roads are unsurfaced but they are still well cared for. Because of the clear weather it can often be very bright so bring sunglasses and try to avoid driving west in the late afternoon. Oh and remember to drive on the left-hand side of the road.

Where to drive
Booked car hire? Cyprus has plenty of fantastic leisure options on and off the water, from fishing, golf, trekking and cycling to sailing, swimming and water sports. You can choose to stick to the big resorts or head to quieter areas where the pace of life is much slower. Although organising Cyprus car hire gives you to visit more than one region.

The national language is Greek, although English is spoken almost everywhere. Just as in Greece you will often see Cyprians sitting outside in the evening enjoying meze with friends.

Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love and beauty was born from the sea foam near Paphos. As such, tributes to Aphrodite can be found all over Cyprus. Legend has it that if you bathe in a spot where Aphrodite's rock sticks out of the sea you will live five years longer so that's worth a detour. Paphos itself has a lovely harbour and castle.
