Cyprus

Ayia Napa (Αγία Νάπα) is a very popular holiday destination in Cyprus. Tourists like good beaches, a warm climate and a large number of entertainments (restaurants, night clubs, beach parties, opportunities for communication). It is believed that this resort is especially popular among young people. Families with children often prefer the Protaras, which is located nearby. The best time for a vacation in Ayia Napa is from May to October. (It may be too hot during the day in July and August in Cyprus.)

Arriving on vacation in Cyprus, you are unlikely to want to stay all the time in one place. You can order a group or individual excursion. You can travel to nearby cities by public transport (or by taxi). But only your own car will give you complete freedom of movement. You can visit the places you want and spend as much time there as you wish.

Of course, no one flies to Cyprus with his car. For this there is a car rental. Renting a car is not cheap, but it's cheaper than buying excursions or traveling by taxi.

You are advised to rent a car if:

Limassol (Λεμεσός) is the second largest city of the Republic of Cyprus. It is very popular with tourists. In the city and near it there are beaches and good hotels, as well as many historical attractions. Interesting events are also regularly held in Limassol.

Paphos (Πάφος) is one of the most popular tourist cities in Cyprus. The city is located in the southwestern part of the island, on the shores of the Mediterranean, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of Limassol.

You can see the location of the city on the map of Cyprus.

You shouldn't spend your holiday in Cyprus all the time on the beach. Most tourists buy at least one tour. You can visit the most interesting places on the island and learn a lot about the history and places of Cyprus. You can also ask questions to an expert who knows the topic well.
