Our Foundation, together with BirdLife Cyprus, organised a lovely afternoon excursion to Kato Paphos as part of the Pandoteira project, offering participants the opportunity to discover the natural and cultural heritage of the “Faros Kato Paphos” area, which forms part of the European Natura 2000 network of protected areas.

The excursion began at the Archaeological Site of Nea Paphos, where participants enjoyed a guided tour of the House of Theseus, the House of Dionysus and the Odeon, exploring the rich history of the ancient city, which is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The group then headed towards the Paphos coastal promenade for a birdwatching session guided by BirdLife Cyprus and Terra Cypria. Participants had the opportunity to observe various bird species, including the Common Sandpiper and the Common Kingfisher, while learning more about the importance of the area for birdlife.

The excursion concluded with the stunning Paphos sunset, reminding us of the unique combination of nature, history and culture that makes our island so special.

Find out more about the area through the Exploration Guide prepared as part of the Pandoteira project.
