Pafos Zoo

The project started with Mr Christos Christoforou's love of Birds & Wildlife. The Park was originally going to be for Mr Christoforou's private use to house his enormous private collection of Birds, but he decided to open the Park for the public, so that they may also enjoy the splendours of his private collection & it also being a unique park in Cyprus. Mr Christoforou's other aim was to educate the local community about the importance of caring & conserving all bird & animal life. The Park took 3 years to complete & it was finally open to the public in September 2003. As Mr Christoforou is commited to education he is constantly upgrading & adding new features to the Park opening in May 2004 is our Amphitheatre which will hold 350 guests, the Amphitheatre's main purpose is to hold educational talks & programs about the various wildlife we have in the Park as well as showing wildlife documentaries. We will also have daily Parrot & Owl shows which will educate the public as to how agile & clever these birds are.
