Cyprus is famous for having a spectacular coastline, most of which is open to the visitor. From most of our Sixt car rental bases it is possible to hire a car and drive to the beach in less than half an hour. Alternatively, the cities of Cyprus offer some wonderful cultural places of interest. This is an island which has a long history and as a meeting point between Europe and Asia, Cyprus has been home to a number of civilisations over the centuries. A wonderful example of this historical lineage is the Sanctuary of Appollo-Hylates, located a short drive from the town of Kourion. More contemporary delights are to be found in Nicosia, a vibrant city and the capital of this alluring destination - incidentally Nicosia is also home to a Sixt car hire office which means you can explore this fantastic city in your own time.
