Cyprus has several reserves and zoos: Paphos Zoo, Limassol Zoo, and Camel Park. Visiting them is a great plan, especially when you do it as a family.

They have adapted their structure to teach their visitors about conservationism, creating greater awareness about the plant's preservation. Also, they are centers for animal rescue and genetic conservation, among other qualities.

Kolossi Castle is one of the most striking fortresses from the medieval era of Cyprus. The Order of Malta began its construction in the 13th century. The original castle was destroyed at the beginning of the 15th century, and the existing building was built over its ruins in 1454.

From the top of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean are the remains of the Kourion ancient city. They are undoubtedly a Romans testament to the sophistication with the underfloor heating system, their beautiful mosaics, and their excellent acoustics understanding.
