Should I hire a car in Cyprus with Zest Car Rental?

In short, yes! Hiring a car in Cyprus offers you the freedom to explore hidden gems only accessible by car. Make sure you visit some local tavernas and sample plenty of the fabulous local meze. Halloumi originates from Cyprus, whilst souvlaki and calamari are also hugely popular. There are some fantastic Cypriot wines on the market these days too so why not take a wine tour? 

Enjoy a beautiful glass of wine in the Mediterranean sunshine.

Alternatively, make the most of Cyprus’ location and explore some of the fantastic diving locations along the coast. Coral Bay and Protaras are known for their interesting and varied dive sites. Explore underwater caves, swim alongside vibrant coral formations, and encounter fascinating marine creatures, all while immersing yourself in the tranquility of the Mediterranean Sea. You'll find a range of exciting dive sites suitable for both novice and experienced divers.

Get up close and personal with Cyprus' clear seas and marine life.

The city of Limassol makes for a fascinating day out and is located just a short distance from Larnaca Airport. Brimming with historical sites such as Limassol Castle and the Old Town, it's a step back in time and its old quarter features a small covered market, surrounded by tavernas and bars. There’s also a striking medieval castle and an excellent museum.

The capital city of Nicosia straddles the border between North and South Cyprus. Found inland away from the coast, it has a different atmosphere to some of the other cities here but there's still plenty to see and do.

Ayia Napa may have a reputation as a clubber's paradise, but recent action by the authorities has seen it become more sedate. If you’re after the clubbing experience, The Square is the place to be until the small hours. Alternatively relax in a taverna with a Metaxas after a long day bathing on the golden sands in the hot sun!

Where can I rent a car in Cyprus with Zest Car Rental?

Fly in to Larnaca Airport to open the entire stretch of the southeast coastline. The city itself boasts plenty of interesting and historical architecture while the fabulous weather makes exploring the 8km of beaches even more appealing.

Hiring a car at Paphos Airport is a popular option with many Brits heading to the coastal city of Paphos or neighbouring Coral Bay. Sandwiched between the sea and the mountains, it's a great location for your holiday, offering the best of both worlds.

If you’re visiting North Cyprus, Ercan Airport provides easy access to a relaxed and unspoilt part of the country. Sleepy villages and beautiful scenery prevail in this area making it a popular destination with those who are looking for a more relaxed holiday.

Can I play golf in Cyprus?

Cloudless skies, blue water, long and hot summer days, ocean views, rocky gorges, and white beaches combine to make Cyprus a great place play a round or two. 

 Cyprus' scenic coastline is the perfect spot for a round of golf!
