Car Rental
There are car hire companies at the airports and throughout the area. It is advisable to book in advance of your holiday and pick up your car from the airport. Alternatively, you can take a taxi
to the apartment (approx £CY10 from Larnaca and £CY40 from Paphos ) or we can arrange an airport pick up. The Village Tavern in Pyla can organise car hire if you decide you would like to do this once you have settled in.
Driving is easy in Cyprus. You drive on the left as in the UK.
Don't forget to take your driving licence.
It is also possible to hire bicycles, scooters or motorbikes. There are several hire companies on the Dekelia Road (2km away).

Guest Comments
“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and use of your apartment, thank you” Sarah, June 2007.
“We have just come back from a weeks holiday in the apartment in the Pyla Village complex- photos on a website don't always reflect what you will actually find when you get there. In this case... it was even better!
The apartment was beautifully clean, modern and very comfortable. The kitchen is better equipped than mine at home- hadn't realised how nice a washing machine on holiday is until we took our 8 month old baby.
The balcony was peaceful to have breakfast on and the bedrooms so quiet even the baby slept in. TV, DVD player (even DVDs to watch) and tons of leaflet info and maps made our stay really easy.
The pool really is as gorgeous as the photos seem too.
Would definitely recommend this apartment to families (sleeps 6 plus baby cot)- Pyla village very tranquil but Larnaka and Agia Napa only 20 mins by car.”
Andrea, Alastair and Baby Grace Fisher. November 2007.
“I loved my stay here and made up my mind to book the apartment again before the journey home. I had gone out there with plans to explore the island but made myself too comfortable to be bothered with straying too far from the resort. Next time I’m determined to be more adventurous.You can see from the website pictures how nicely the apartment is decorated and furnished but what they don’t show is how peaceful and relaxing the place is. I spent most of my time either on the balcony looking over the village with a glass of wine or cooling off in the pool. Although the gold star beaches are not far off you can have a decent swim here and it is still hot enough to sunbathe in early November. There’s plenty of space for both kids and adults.” Tim, 2007.
We hope you like our website, choose to stay in our apartment and have a great holiday.
