Hi All,

Off to Cyprus next weekend for two weeks, staying near Pathos any petrolhead things to do whilst out there or just genral tips for things that are worth doing seeing.
Not booked a hire car but can do so if needed.

I don't know what petrolhead things there are to do there, but I saw a nice orange Murcielago with all the SV trimmings (though I don't think it was an actual SV) in Paphos when I was there a couple of years ago. Also, you can hire these funky beach buggy things to drive around in, which is fun, and they drive on the right there too, so there's no having to adapt or remind yourself that you're in a foreign place.

Paphos?

For PH type things to do, take the car up to the Troodos Mountains. Some great twisty roads up there. cool

Hire a 4x4 and drive up the west coast and look for turtle bay (think it is near Laura Bay), nice bit of off roading. Then head up to Pomos for a long lunch.

Oh Yes - we got married there, Paphos, during February one year. I hired a Ford Focus 1.6 which couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding if it tried - however, it was a hire car, therfore the fastest car on the planet at that given time.

So we tromp up the mountains and went from nice and warm by the beach to 6ft of snow in the mountains. We didn't see another car on the way up or down and the road was a mix of sweeping and twisty bends on tarmac and gravel with snow and ice thrown in at the end.

So we played the momentum game on what was basically a perfect WRC stage hehe

Missus wasn't too impressed but the little focus did a pretty good job to be fair.

Yep, the mountains are THE PH thing to do.

I had a 'try dive' there (Latchi actually) in 2009 and I'm now a committed scuba diver (well, my wife says I SHOULD be committed biggrin), so you might want to give that a try smile

Sorry about my spelling, thanks for the suggestions so far.
