With your Sotira car rental, you can easily explore the beautiful Famagusta region and beyond. Here are some recommended routes:
Drive east from Sotira through Ayia Napa and Protaras to reach Cape Greco National Forest Park. This scenic 25 km route takes about 30 minutes and offers spectacular sea views, sea caves and walking trails. The park is ideal for nature lovers and photographers.
Head west to Larnaca, Cyprus third largest city. The 45 km journey via the A3 motorway takes around 40 minutes. Visit the famous Hala Sultan Tekke mosque, walk along Finikoudes promenade, or explore Larnaca Fort. If arriving by air, collect your car directly at Larnaca Airport.
For a complete change of scenery, drive inland to the Troodos mountain range. The route to Troodos village covers about 100 km and takes 1.5 hours. Stop at traditional mountain villages like Kakopetria or Platres along the way. The mountain roads are well maintained but narrow in places - a compact car is easier to maneuver than a large vehicle.
Drive north from Sotira to explore the medieval walled city of Famagusta (Gazimagusa). The 40 km journey takes about 45 minutes. Note that Famagusta is in the northern part of Cyprus, so have your passport ready for the checkpoint. Check your rental agreement as some companies restrict travel to the north.
