Landscapes & Wildlife
For a growing number of visitors, Cyprus' one-of-a-kind flora and fauna is the
number-one reason for travelling. Tiny rare orchids bloom amid the hillside wild-
flowers in early spring. Turtles nest on the beaches in their thousands during summer.
Endemic bird species, along with seasonal visitors, can be spotted in the high forests
and lowland salt lakes. This rich biodiversity makes it a nature-lover's paradise.
A handy field companion is
Butterflies of North Cyprus
by Dr Daniel H Haines and Dr Hilary M Haines. It's a
comprehensive guide available in paperback.
