Car Rental Paphos

Paphos is a district capital in the southwestern portion of Cyprus. There are two spots that are actually called Paphos though: Old Paphos and New Paphos. New Paphos is where the current city is. New Paphos is located along the Mediterranean coast, about 2 hours away by car hire at Paphos Downtown from the biggest port in the island, Limassol.

As a guide, Old Paphos is located close to the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty, and was used in worshipping the goddess during the ancient times. With a cheap car hire at Paphos Downtown, New Paphos is located about 20 minutes away from Old Paphos.

Paphos is a World Heritage Site. With tourism a large part of the economy, there are several resorts that can be found in the city, including Kato Paphos, Aphrodite Hills, Coral Bay, and Polis Crysoschous. Greatly contributing to the growth of the city is the presence of an international airport in the city.

Many landmarks that can easily be reached with a car rental at Paphos Downtown include Paphos Castle, Saint Solomoni Church, Rock of Aphrodite, the Ayios Neophytos Monastery, the five-domed Ayia Paraskevi church, and Lemba Village, home to local artists.

It's interesting to know that Paphos once had the distinction of being the only place in Cyprus not to suffer from traffic. Modernization crept into the city and with it brought developments that inevitably brought more attention to the city. Such attention brought more people to Paphos and so traffic was introduced into the city. Today, Paphos is conveniently linked by many motorways.
