Postcards from Cyprus

It’s easy to CY CYPRUS PHOTO: NISSI BEACH - AYIA NAPA Greeting fro C ru Flamingos and beachside paradises go together hand in hand. So it’s no wonder about 15,000 graceful pink greater flamingos like to call Cyprus their home between November and March. The wet climate and delicious brine shrimp make it the perfect winter rest stop before continuing their migration. Also, for one Cyprus-loving flamingo, black is the new pink! A rare species, thought to be the only one of its kind in the world, was seen for two years in a row in Lemesos. So if you plan on visiting, bring binoculars and try spotting it at Akrotiri, Larnaka and Oroklini salt lakes.
