Explore Paphos with your hire car
- Drive your hire car down to the harbour area of Kato Paphos, where you will find the best archaeological sites. Soak up Greek mythology and Cypriot culture at its most intense, including the Houses of Dionysus, Theseus and Aion. It’s packed in the summer so plan your parking in advance.
- Infuse even more Greek culture and mythology into your bones with a trip to some of the best museums on the island of Cyrpus. Pack your historical old soul into your hire car and let your brain feast on the wonders of ancient Greece.
- Tombs of the Kings is a UNESCO World Heritage site and an absolute must-see. Cyprus is a small island so access to all of its charms by hire car means less time on the road and more time studying fascinating artefacts – unless, of course, you feel like a road trip!
Winter in Paphos
Skip the summer crowds and visit Paphos in the winter, when the weather is mild with plenty of sunshine. Active travellers can hire a 4X4 and head to hiking and biking trails in the Troodos Mountains, up to the island’s highest peak, Mount Olympus. Visitors can also discover rural villages and picturesque landscapes, particularly on the drive from Paphos to Aphrodite’s Rock and between Limassol and Troodos.
