Car hire Cyprus

Cyprus has more to offer than a string of beautiful beaches; it's a site of historical wealth and cultural heritage. Ancient monuments, archaeological sites and monasteries make interesting daytrips, and the best way to explore these sites and other points of interest is by cheap hire car in Cyprus.

Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus; the walls built here by the Venetians still stand. The Cyprus Archaeological Museum, the Folk Art Museum and St John's Cathedral are located in the city.

The city of Lismassol is the main port and home to the most famous archaeological site – Curium. By cheap hire car you can take a tour of vineyards located on the Troodos Mountains. A short distance away you can view the ruins of Amathus, the Acropolis, Necropolis and the remains of a Christian church.

Paphos, although a popular beach resort, is a melting pot of history, mythology and archaeology, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Upper Paphos is an excellent viewpoint for taking in the enchanting coastline and Lower Paphos has all the character you would expect from a harbour town.

Larnaca is easily reached by cheap hire car in Cyprus and is another historical centre, having been built on ancient ruins. Agia Faneromeni Church, Larnaca Fort and the Archaeological District Museum are the main attractions. The seafront is a relaxing place for a bite al fresco and to admire the impressive fleet of yachts.

By car rental the possibilities for exploration are endless. Ayia Napa is a lively beach resort. Alternatively, further inland is the charming village of Kakopetria, also worth a visit.
