Car Rentals



Renting cars: There are the big standard car rental agencies in Cyprus- Avis, Hertz etc. Expect to pay for a standard car between 34-38 Euros per day. It is the start of the peak summer season so prices are quite high for cars. You could arrange for the car to be at Larnaka or Paphos airport for your arrival.

I can recommend that you contact Mr. Phivos at Phelena Rent-a-Car on (mobile)+357 99577771 or (land line) +357 2383 2292. If you say you are coming to Cyprus for the wedding of Maria Pierides, he will take care of you. He will be able to get you a car for between 27-30 Euros for one week and if you are staying longer, a better deal could be had. He speaks great English and is very friendly. You should ask him if he could drop the car off at your hotel because he can sometimes do that.

Car Parking in Nicosia on day of Wedding

There are 2 large muninipal car parks near the locations of the wedding. Near the Town Hall is the large car park within the Venetian Walls, called the "Tavros" car park. Make your way into central Nicosia and you will easily find it. It is safe and cheap (often free as the machines are broken!) For the dinner and party, it is within walking distance, so you need not move the car. If you are not someone who can do a 10 minute stroll to the dinner venue, then you can move the car and park at the underground "Phaneromeni Church" car park in the heart of Old Nicosia. It is a one minute walk the dinner venue. This is also a municipal car park. Trickier to find but sign posted once you hit Old Nicosia.
