Where to stay in Cyprus

We are looking to come to Cyprus at end Sept/early Oct. We have a 5 yr old daughter. Ideally we would like to base ourselves near a beach as my daughter would love to spend time there. However we would also like to explore the island. So I have several questions .

Where in your opinion would make a good base to explore, historic sites, towns, markets, mountains etc. What are the bus services like (it would be nice not to have to worry about driving) or is a car necessary. We would like to explore but not spend lots of time travelling. Are there any sites you would recommend.

Thanks so much for this site and the info you provide and that you are willing to answer questions.
