Natural Treasures
Cyprus is blessed with a diverse landscape from the hot and dry coastal areas to the more temperate heights of the Troodos Mountain range and the unique rugged beauty of the Akamas Peninsula. Rich in indigenous flora, breeding ground for endangered turtles and an important stopping point for migrating birds, Cyprus has plenty to interest the nature lover.
Our nature and environment programme includes visits to some of the most beautiful natural sites on the island with some cultural highlights too.
