Many visitors to Cyprus come to the island and spend all their whole holiday in their hotels relaxing and getting a fabulous sun-tan, which with the Cyprus weather is guaranteed! Whist this is the perfect destination for this - it is a shame to come all this way and not grab some Cyprus road maps and explore the island and maybe even check out Cyprus property for sale and have your own place in the sun.
Holiday car hire in Cyprus is readily available and easy to organize, you do have to be over 25 in most cases and have your driving license and you are sorted. There are many companies offering holiday car hire so it can pay to look around to get the best deal. Most of the vehicles will have a tourist map of your area in the paperwork, but it if you intend to really explore it makes sense to buy one of the Cyprus road maps that are available in most general stores. The Cyprus Tourist Office (CTO) also has many brochures and maps available free of charge, just pop in and collect all you need.
The Cyprus road maps show you that as the island is really quite small, the network of highways is very good and links all the major towns, then you can branch out from there to wander around at your leisure. If you prefer to have your trips mapped out for you there are many guide books that give you suggested routes that will take you to spots you might otherwise miss. It is easy to spot a holiday car hire in Cyprus as the vehicles have red number plates beginning with Z and are therefore known locally as Z plates.
Cyprus road maps will also show you the North of the island, but before you make a trip there check with your holiday car hire in Cyprus that you are allowed to take the vehicle across, as many don't allow it. Turkish car insurance has to be bought by everyone crossing over the Green Line, but this may not be valid for cars that are rented so do check first.
Cyprus property for sale is very popular on the island especially to UK citizens due to the feeling of familiarity; most Cypriots speak English, driving is on the left and all the road signs are the same as the British and are in Greek and English, the legal and banking systems are both based on their British counterparts and satellite television means that all your favourite shows are available! Also on Cyprus road maps are marked the Sovereign Bases where British Forces are based, this means that BFBS radios 1 and 2 are available and if you are near the bases you can sometimes pick up their television station as well. Added to all that there is the fantastic climate of long hot summers and mild winters, whist still having snow on the Troodos mountains - if you miss the cold!!
