Cyprus

djbsom

Hi folks. So we're looking at Cyrus in March. It looks nice enough but I hear the roads/driving are a problem?
Now hiring a car and exploring the country are a major part of any of our holidays so I'm hoping a regular on here can put my mind at rest?
So what's Cyprus like guys?

Roads in Cyprus are fine and they drive on the proper side of the road


Car hire is expensive though

At the beginning of my video you can see that the roads in Cyprus are in a good condition - at least at the greek side. If you are interested you can find at my YouTube-channel a playlist about Cyprus with ten videos. We have been to Nicosia, Paphos and many other places. But we liked walking too - and the greek music, which they play there very often. You can hear it in my video too.

I've been all over the island both North and South and the roads are absolutely fine.

I also don't agree that car hire is expensive. I find it fairly cheap. Last summer was £214 ten days for a Nissan Juke in August, fully insured with two drivers. And the car was less than a year old.

A previous time I had a Mazda 3, was £280 for 17 days in August. Again fully insured.

Who was that with? Still seems expensive to me (I pay £60 a week in the canaries, £75 a week for mainland spain).

In August for a 5 seater with luggage? Wow that is very cheap.

Last summer was with North Cyprus Rent a Car, Cyprus Pines Car Rentals in Northern Cyprus
And before it was with Cy-Breeze Rentals - Paphos Cyprus Cars, Bikes, Accommodation in Paphos, slightly more of an experience as they have no on airport presence, but do it Cyprus style in a side street and leave the keys in the fuel filler cap

Oh, and haggle Never pay list price...
