When I was there I stayed in a coastal resort and saw a couple of places where you could hire mtbs and road bikes. Can't give you any details (it was a long time ago) but saw similar places in a couple of other towns so I assume it's quite common.
We hired a car and would suggest being careful: there were a lot of twisty roads inland with long drops off the side and people in rented cars all over the place. And some of the climbs looked bloody hard.
You'll get a nice cyclist's tan, though :-)
