Paphos Zoo
Ζωολογικός Κήπος Πάφου
Cyprus's largest zoo, which started as a private bird park. Parrot shows and feeding giraffes and kangaroos make it a good choice for families.
Paphos Zoo lies near the village of Agios Georgios in Peyia. It began as a private bird park and now houses several hundred species, including giraffes, zebras, kangaroos, meerkats, crocodiles, and numerous parrots and birds of prey. Parrot and owl shows take place every day, and giraffe feeding is available for a fee at certain times. Adult admission costs about 20 euros, with discounts for children. The zoo is about 20 kilometers from Paphos, close to the sea turtle conservation area and a shipwreck, so you can visit them all on the same day. The park can get very hot in the afternoon in summer, so it is best to go in the morning.
Opening hours
