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!
Summer in Paphos
Summer is the best time to visit Paphos if you’re interested in sunbathing and water sports. The coastline extends over 30 miles, with popular beaches between Paphos and Cape Drepanum, and countless unspoilt bays to discover. Hire a car in Paphos to visit local wineries, archaeological sites and centuries-old monasteries, or book a boat trip to spot sea turtles. In the evenings, savour Cypriot cuisine along the waterfront before going barhopping in the Old Town.
