First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Cyprus, an enchanting island at the crossroads of civilizations, invites you to discover its diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Renting a camper in Cyprus is the ideal solution to explore the wonders of this destination at your own pace. From the golden beaches of Paphos to the ancient ruins of Salamis, every corner of the island offers a unique experience. By taking the scenic routes, you can savor the beauty of the Troodos mountains and the serenity of traditional villages, all while enjoying the freedom that a camper trip brings. Let yourself be seduced by Cypriot authenticity and embark on an adventure!
Set off to discover Cyprus in a camper thanks to three iconic itineraries that will take you to explore the island's natural, cultural, and beach treasures. Whether you have a week, two, or three to dedicate to this journey, each route offers a unique immersion between traditional villages, golden beaches, and wild mountains, perfectly suited for van or camper adventurers.
Discovery in 7-10 days: between sea, history, and villages
This circuit allows you to cover the essentials of Cyprus in a camper, starting in Larnaca for its beaches and Saint Lazarus Church, then exploring the Ayia Napa and Protaras region, ideal for swimming and coves. Continue to Nicosia, the capital, before crossing the villages of Lefkara and Kiti, renowned for their craftsmanship. End with the Troodos massif, perfect for nature lovers, then head to Paphos for its archaeological sites and the famous rock of Aphrodite. This itinerary easily combines cultural stops and beach breaks, with roads accessible to campers.
Cyprus in 14 days: immersion between mountains and the Akamas peninsula
In two weeks, take the time to immerse yourself in Cypriot diversity. After Larnaca and Nicosia, spend several days in the Troodos massif: perched villages like Platres and Omodos, Byzantine monasteries, and lush valleys. Extend the adventure to the Akamas peninsula, a natural jewel for observing wildlife and flora, hiking, or admiring turtles at Lara Bay. The east and west coasts, from Coral Bay to Polis, offer wild coves and tranquil beaches. This itinerary deepens the discovery of local traditions and landscapes while remaining entirely feasible in a camper.
Grand tour of Cyprus in 21 days: complete exploration and getaways
Three weeks allow you to explore Cyprus in its every nook, alternating cultural walks, hikes, and relaxation. After visiting all the major sites in the south (Larnaca, Nicosia, Troodos, Paphos, Akamas), take the time to add stops in remote villages, hidden monasteries, and less frequented beaches. An incursion into the northern part of the island can be considered to discover the city of Kyrenia and its fortifications, provided that local formalities are respected. This route is aimed at camper travelers eager for encounters and diversity, with the possibility of lingering in each region according to their desires.
Discover Cyprus in a camper or van: a journey between sea and mountains
Cyprus, a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, offers the perfect terrain for a road trip in a camper or van, with diverse landscapes ranging from the beaches of the Akamas Peninsula to the peaks of the Troodos Mountains.
When to visit Cyprus?
The best time to explore Cyprus in a camper extends from April to June and then from September to November, when temperatures are pleasant and nature is in bloom or in full harvest, especially in the vineyards of Troodos. These seasons avoid the intense heat of summer, particularly in Nicosia where temperatures can exceed 35°C in July and August, making daytime travel more difficult.
Weather and climate by region
Cyprus enjoys a Mediterranean climate with a long, dry summer from mid-May to mid-October, where temperatures on the coasts like Paphos range from 25 to 32°C, while the Troodos mountains remain cooler, around 24 to 27°C. Winter is mild in the plains, with temperatures around 17°C, but it can snow on the Troodos peaks, offering an interesting climate diversity for varied activities.
Seasonality of rates and practical advice
Camping and parking rates in Cyprus are generally higher in high season, from June to September, especially in tourist areas like the Akamas coast or Limassol Bay. In low season, particularly in autumn and spring, prices are more affordable and sites less crowded, allowing for a full enjoyment of the landscapes and scenic roads in peace.
Practical tips for traveling in a camper or van in Cyprus
Cyprus, a Mediterranean island rich in history and diverse landscapes, offers a unique experience for travelers in a camper or van, with specific driving rules, parking options, and local advice to know for a safe stay.
Driving and regulations
In Cyprus, driving is on the left, which may surprise drivers used to the right. Highways are free, and speed limits are 50 km/h in urban areas, 80 km/h outside urban areas, and 100 km/h on highways. It is mandatory to have a safety vest on board, and the blood alcohol limit is strictly zero. Parking is regulated, particularly it is prohibited to park within 10 meters of an intersection, as in the streets of Nicosia. The maximum age to drive a camper is 70 years, and a special vignette is required to travel on certain main roads.
Sleeping and connecting
Wild camping is officially prohibited in the southern part of the island, particularly around Paphos and Limassol, where regulations are strict. However, in the northern part, wild camping is tolerated, and several campsites are available. For connecting, official campsites like those near Fig Tree Bay beach in Protaras offer pitches with electricity and services. It is advisable to favor these sites to avoid fines and enjoy suitable infrastructure.
Local advice and safety
Cyprus is generally safe for camper travelers, but it is recommended to remain vigilant in border areas near the green line that separates the north and south, particularly around Nicosia. The locals are welcoming, but it is preferable to ask for permission before settling on private property. Gas stations are rare outside major cities like Limassol, so fuel replenishment should be anticipated. Finally, respecting local driving and parking rules ensures a smooth journey.

Too rigid computer system
Very good customer experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it! Thanks to the team who were attentive and available for organizing my trip to Canada.
Great experience with Cooldrive. I highly recommend it 100%. Reliable, attentive, available, responsive. Thanks to Marléne for her support.
Initially, the camper offered online was not available, but a good alternative was quickly provided. The communication regarding the various steps to be taken is clear. The camper was from 2025 and was clean and complete. The pick-up in Norway took longer than expected (4 hours), but in the end, it became a vacation to never forget. Highly recommended!
No unpleasant surprises
Cooldrive recommended that I take out insurance, which turned out to be unable to handle an issue that arose during the stay.
Top rates and service
Impeccable
Quick and efficient response
Everything was quick and quite simple. Just a small downside upon arrival, we waited a good amount of time before being taken care of.
Perfect
Interesting price, clear file and follow-up. Very easy to get answers to our questions, very pleasant staff.
We rented a campervan for a trip to Iceland. Everything went well. Good service from Cooldrive.
Great vacation in the Baltic States. When everything goes well, it is easy to speak highly of the people who helped you. But beyond the quality of the vehicle and the welcome from the rental company, it is also important to note the support received from Cooldrive, which responded quickly to all our requests. This provides a sense of security that allows you to truly relax, knowing that in case of...
great experience! The CoolDrive agents are very helpful with all the procedures
Incorrect information about the rental dates resulting in a charge for an additional day despite my inquiries to Cool Drive right after my booking. Refusal to modify my reservation because it did not lead to a change in price. Incorrect information confirmed by the rental company that was expecting a response the next day...
The whole booking, communication, and actual rental experience has been smooth, effective, and enjoyable. Not sure how that could have been any better, at least in our experience, other than perhaps a final communication just before the start of the rental (but really, we had all info and details already). Collection and return of the motorhome was smooth and friendly staff (from iCaravan). All in...
Very good from the quote to the rental, I recommend!
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Easy to contact intermediary. For my part, a big thank you to Marlene for her availability and responsiveness.
Excellent service, speed, and courtesy
Easy communication, in French
They have always responded quickly to all my requests and their website is very functional!
Everything was well arranged, clear information in advance, and the handover of the mobile home went smoothly.
It is convenient to book a vehicle without too many questions. However, personally, I went to Iceland, and the story surrounding the insurance was really not clear with the rental agency.
Diversity of offerings, clear presentation of the site, available options. No surprises on the price; you know what you're paying for. I recommend it and will probably use it again for other camper van trips.
Responsiveness to emails and requests is excellent.
Everything went well.
Hello, very bad experience with the rental made with Causeway Campers Ltd: the rented camper was damaged from a previous accident with many parts taped up, including the rear bumper, which came loose during the jolts in the middle of the trip that I had to reattach after notifying them with makeshift means, causing stress on the road in the second part of the trip (photo available if needed); upon...
