Cyprus Car Hire Fleet Options

The most easterly of all the islands in the Mediterranean, Cyprus packs a remarkable number of tourist attractions into a relatively small area. The capital, Nicosia, is an impressive walled city set within delightful medieval ramparts harbouring a clutch of high-grade museums. Take to the coast in your car hire from Auto Europe and you’ll find crystal-clear waters embroidering long sandy beaches, while the two lofty mountain ranges located further inland also help to define the island’s dramatic landscape. Cyprus boasts a good choice of wonderfully scenic drives, particularly the road that skirts the rolling foothills of the Troodos Massif. Travelling from Limassol to Paphos takes you past many interesting places, including Kolissi Castle and the ancient sites of Kourlon and the Apollom Ylatis Sanctuary, with the beautiful coast road to Petra tou Romiou a major highlight for people touring the island by car. Leaving Paphos on the E606 carries you through miles and miles of rolling vineyards dotted with some of the prettiest villages in the eastern Mediterranean. The route between Güzelyurt and the famous Kykkos Monastery 20 km west of Pedoulas guarantees a memorable drive along the pretty north coast, passing the fascinating sites of Soli and Vouni en route. The north Cyprus loop road takes you all the way from Larnaca across the Kyrenia Mountains to the coast, passing the Buffavento and St Hilarion castles and stunning Bellapais Abbey along the way. Exploring Cyprus couldn't be easier than with a car hire from Auto Europe. It's a small island with plenty to see, so please use the following fleet guide to choose the best vehicle for your needs, from a small economical car ideal for city sightseeing to a classy convertible with enough space for family or friends with plenty of luggage.
