Rent a Car in Paphos

Tips for renting a car in Paphos

Renting a car in Paphos is one of the easiest ways to explore western Cyprus. Although the harbor area is walkable, many beaches, archaeological sites, mountain villages, wineries, and natural attractions are much easier to reach by car.

Rental companies operate at Paphos International Airport and throughout the city. Travelers should compare insurance, deposits, fuel policies, and vehicle types. Cyprus drives on the left-hand side of the road.

A rental vehicle provides flexibility for visiting the Akamas Peninsula, Aphrodite's Rock, Coral Bay, Polis, Latchi, Troodos villages, and Limassol. Some rural and coastal roads may be narrow or uneven.

Parking is generally easier than in larger European cities, although popular harbor and beach areas become busy during summer. A car is especially valuable for travelers planning day trips beyond central Paphos.
