Go Slow in Southern Cyprus

Summary

This ‘Go Slow’ tour offers a relaxing week of birding and botanising on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, which is generally bathed in warm sunshine during the spring. During this 2-centre holiday, we will spend three nights in the historic town of Paphos, before moving close to the Baths of Aphrodite and the beautiful Akamas Peninsula National Park on the western side of the island for the subsequent four nights.

From each base we will head out each day on gentle natural history walks in search of migrant birds, flowers and a variety of other wildlife, breaking with a taverna lunch or a picnic in a scenic spot. Highlights may include Black Francolin, Chukar Partridge, Bonelli’s Eagle, Long-legged Buzzard, migrating birds and the endemic Cyprus Warbler, plus some late orchids such as Fragrant orchids and Tongue orchids. At the end of each day there will be time to relax back at the hotel or stroll along the beautiful beach below.
