Matter of personal choice. What kind of holiday are you looking at? We use the transfer when we go (October4th) and then hire a car when we are ready. Personally we find 3 or 4 days car hire in a two week holiday is sufficient to visit the places we want to see. I have often been able to arrange to split the hire with two days each week yet get a good price. Depends on time of year and how busy. Usually works out around £90 all in.

Hi

I should have said, I'm flying to larnaca, and staying in Ayia Napa (Nissi Beach Resort)

Is the transfer £30 per person ?

If so hire a car and do your transfers under your own steam I say.

If you check the car hire thread at the top of the Cyprus forum there's plenty of good recommendations where I think you'll beat the Thomson car hire price easily. We usually hire a car for the week in September for around £110, given that a cab each way is more then 50% of that then it's a bargain.

If you've never been before it'll be nice for you to explore along the coast towards Famagusta, go inland and generally find some nice off the track beaches. Another advantage of having a car is on the return journey to Larnaca you don't have to be ready to leave quite so early. We usually head up to Mackenzie Beach area 5 mins from thr airport and eat before returing the car

p.s. it's a doddle of a journey from Larnaca airport to Ayia Napa

Thanks Miss_Chief1

It's £30 for the both of us, I think I might book it... and see what happens... I'll speak to a few people at work just for some advice, but will probably book through atlas choice. i'll take a look at the thread you mentioned as well.

Thanks for the tips as well, will be handy!

We used to take the transfer into the resort and collect a car when we arrive but took it back to the airport.

It meant if we had to be out of the accommodation by lunchtime and not travelling back till later in the day, we could leave the hotel and spend the day out somewhere else instead.

There are loads of places to visit with a car in Cyprus. But would probably suggest spending the time taking the road from Cape Greko and ending up in Larnaca around the seafront and the shopping street a couple of streets back from the palm tree promenade at Finikoudes. You're only 10 - 15 mins from the airport.
