Car Hire

Over the many years we have been going to Cyprus we have used quite a few Hire Car companies. Prices are always changing from year to year but one company I would be happy to recommend, as do many ex-pats over there, is George from Easy Rent a Car based in Paphos. He and his wife have always provided excellent service at reasonable rates. Contact via their website www.easyrentacarltd.com or email: nestrent@logosnet.cy.net
We rented an automatic micra last May for 193.00 euros per week.
We have also used economycarhire.com and also Budget.

A must do for anyone visiting for the first time or even the second time around is to jump on George’s Fun Bus for a great day out!
Book before you leave or when in Cyprus.
“Best day out in Paphos is George's fun bus”
“We laughed all day and didnt want it to end!”
Polis

Polis is a beach town in the south of Cyprus. It is located in the Greek-controlled southern half of the island and looks across the Chrysochou Bay to the Akamas Peninsula.
The landscape is varied with rocky hills, lush green meadows and lazy beaches. Like the rest of western Cyprus, the climate is definitively Mediterranean. Tourists advised to travel during spring, with temperatures around 24°C.
In the summer time, Lara Beach becomes the only area in the town that is closed to tourists. The Lara Beach Turtle Station does this to protect the nesting green and loggerhead turtles. With a population around 3,000, Polis is not as developed as some of the other Cypriot beach towns. But visitors here enjoy the chance for some relaxed time on its beaches and usually don’t miss the chaos of places like Agia Napa.
Coral Bay - perfect for families

Coral Bay itself is a 600m crescent of soft white sand, book-ended by a pair of headlands. It is home to a handful of top-notch hotels and the neighbouring marina looks set for completion in the near future. However, it's the glassy waters offshore that everyone comes for. While the sea is calm year-round the same can't be said of the beach
, where you'll find every conceivable activity from banana boat rides to jet skis for hire.Cultural types may find themselves twiddling their thumbs as there is little of historic interest in the resort
. 
However, 'foodies' will find a good selection of bars and restaurants (although they vary in quality so it's a good idea to talk to fellow diners). Coral Bay is a family-friendly place and anyone wanting a big night out would do better to head for nearby Paphos and get a return taxi in the small hours.
Coral Bay is a great base for exploring the pristine coastline to the north, where a jigsaw of coves and inlets hide some of the best (and most isolated) beaches
on the island. Don't expect to find much in the way of refreshments and pack a well-stocked picnic hamper and plenty of sun cream.
