Ayia Napa car hires from €24

Given the densely populated tourist areas, the unpredictable traffic and the maze-like smaller side streets, your choices when it comes to Ayia Napa car hire can quite easily be narrowed down. For the sake of convenience if you’re going to spend a lot of time in the resort areas, choose the smallest vehicle that is still comfortable. A modern, fuel-efficient small city car will be ideal if there are only one or two of you, while a compact MPV will be ideal for larger groups and families. However, if you’re exploring more of this corner of the island, then choose something more rugged, like an SUV or 4x4.

In the central built-up areas that make up the vast majority of Ayia Napa, the speed limit is 50km/h (about 30mph). Remember that all the signs are inkm/h as Cyprus uses the metric system. It’s not the kind of mistake you want to make. On the other roads outside the town, the speed limit is 80km/h (just under 50mph), and on the motorways you can travel at 100km/h (about 60mph).

You’ll find many car parks in Ayia Napa but you’ll have to pay for all of them. In the centre of town drive to the one on Archiepieskopou Makariou, which will cost around €1 (about £0.86) per hour for three hours’ worth of parking. The largest free parking is at Nissi Bay, open 24/7, which will give you close walking access to the quieter beaches too.
