About Renting a Car at Limassol Port

Rent a car directly at Limassol Port and drive off without detours – the port is Cyprus's most important cruise port and is centrally located in Limassol, approximately 3 km from the city center. One rental company is on-site, perfect if you arrive by cruise ship and want to explore the island on your own. From here, you can reach Kolossi Castle in 15 minutes and the Kourion Ruins in approximately 30 minutes.

Limassol Port is surrounded by the historic old town with medieval castle and lively tavernas along the seafront promenade. The old port quarter Limassol Marina is right next to it and offers restaurants and shops. Cruise ships dock early in the morning – book your car in advance to maximize your time on the island.

Kourion and the Temple of Aphrodite in Kouklia is a classic day trip package of approximately 2–3 hours. Return the car in good time before the ship departs, usually late afternoon. Can I rent a car for just one day at Limassol Port?
