If you have an international driver's license it is possible to take the car for rent, however it is not advisable, if you get used to go across the Europe and to change the skills - in fact on Cyprus the movement is as in England or Australia. This problem makes driving the car on Cyprus pretty hard. Even if the car is extremely necessary for you - for example you have stopped in apartments or rented a villa on Cyprus and it is necessary for you to go to supermarkets - better to call a taxi, than to feel a permanent stress and discomfort from driving. Cyprus villas are usually built not separately from each other but in a complex - always it is possible to ask your neighbors to help you to go to supermarket for example with them. People on Cyprus are very kind and sympathetic, if to not ask the same people for this service every day :))
