Sea Pines Villa

Once at the bottom of the sea, Cyprus has majestic rock formations derived from millions of years old oceanic crust, making it one of the few places in the world that geologists visit in order to study the oceanic floor without having to resort to deep sea diving. 

The island is a must-visit for birdwatchers as there are several endemic bird species and hundreds of migrating birds passing through in the spring and the fall. What's more, Cyprus has several flora and fauna species that are endemic or rare. You can spot rare plants, such as the Cyprus tulip and cyclamen in the protected Akamas region. 

The western beaches are amongst the few places in the Mediterranean where sea turtles come ashore to breed on the and are strictly protected.

The Cedar Valley is home to an unusually large number of Cypriot cedars and so far from the madding crowds that the only sounds you will hear when you switch off the engine of your car are those of nature. If you're lucky you might catch the elusive mouflon, a rare wild mountain sheep, roaming free in the Troodos mountain sides.
