The perfect way to discover and capture the Original spirit of Cyprus. We leave the city behind and drive through the ''Red Villages'' (not far distant from the mainresort areas) to our special destination, the ARGONAFTIS ANIMAL PARK lockated adjacent to the Achna Dam. Upon arrival, experience the meaning of true Cypriot hospitality as you sample the local firewater «zivania», village wine, «halloumi» cheese, olives, bread and the homemade sweet «shushoukko», all traditional products of Cyprus.
As you stroll around the Park you will encounter an assemblage of diverse animals worthy of Noah’s Ark: Donkeys, horses, the “Cyprus Bull,” goats, sheep, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, squirrels, snakes, turtles, monkeys, dogs & several kind of birds (e.g. chickens, pigeons, geese, ostriches, falcons, etc.).
Watch our special exhibit of a free flying falcon and a man handling snakes. (Don’t forget your camera to record the event for your friends back home!) A fantastic donkey ride is next, under the watchful supervision of our professional staff to ensure both comfort and safety for the whole family. The donkeys, the most reliable form of transport in Cyprus (they never break down!), will take us through some pretty countryside before we arrive at the Church of Agios Georgios “Teratsiotis” (14th – 15th century).
Relax in the tranquility of the spot with refreshments & seasonal fruit. On return to the Animal Park, enjoy a BBQ meal accompanied by home-cooked specialities with wine, zivania and juice for children. Eat, drink and be merry in the traditional farmhouse where soon you will not be able to resist the familiar rhythm of the Greek «syrtaki» dance.
Our team will surprise and entertain you with Cypriot, Greek and International music and dancing. Don’t forget to collect your souvenir certificate before you leave. This is an exceptional alternative type of entertainment with fun & adventure that will prove to be a memorable experience in Cyprus for all the family.
