19th December 2024 – Paphos, Cyprus

We have arrived in Paphos in Cyprus where we are spending a couple of days before joining a two-centre natural history tour over Christmas based firstly here in Paphos and then on the Akomas Peninsula.

Today we have had a recce around the Paphos headland and acclimatised ourselves to the local climate on a sunny day with a gentle breeze and temperatures in the high teens – rather different to the rain and storms back home.

There have been opportunities of a few bird photos and even a painted lady butterfly but we’ve focussed more on settling ourselves in and enjoying the local cafés and restaurants.
