Pafos Zoo

Cyprus's largest wildlife and bird park featuring giraffe feeding, elephants, lemurs, and daily parrot shows.

Tips before you go

  • Check the daily schedule at the entrance for the amphitheater bird show.
  • Buy a cup of giraffe snacks at the giraffe platform.
  • Allow around 2.5 to 3 hours for the full loop.
