Welcome
Cyprus has long been a popular tourist destination and with it warm climate, beautiful scenery and English speaking residents this comes as no surprise. The mythical birthplace of the gods Aphrodite and Adonis are represented by the many temple ruins around the island and car hire is a must to see these beautiful historical sites. The island is serviced by Paphos airport, which is 16 km from the main city of Paphos and gives easy access to other popular resorts such as Coral Bay and Limassol. The new terminal due for completion in november 2008 will provide passengers with more choice of facilities including car hire.
Car hire companies situated currently in Paphos International airport include Advantage, Budget, Europcar, Dollar and Thrifty all of which offer a wide range of choices to suit every taste and budget. All of the cars have air conditioning which can be a must in the hotter months of the year and you can select from a compact car for basic travel, a 4 wheel drive if you want to get out and see some of the more rugged locations or perhaps a luxury convertible to really make the most of the sun and this beautiful island.
Once you have chosen your car you can get out and about the island and see many of the landmarks and tourist destinations such as Paphos castle situated at the harbour which is a world cultural heritage site and now a museum, the rock of Aphrodite where the legend says she rose from the sea. Other popular sites include Old Paphos city ruins, Yeroskipou church and the village of Lemba and its array of artists shops to browse.
