(last updated: July 2021)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Paphos ZOO<\/a> <\/strong>is just around the corner from where I live and despite visiting a few times, I have been a little hesitant to add it here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I always have had mixed feelings about going to the ZOO, mainly due to the limited space some of the animals have here and I feel a little guilty paying money to see them that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve seen pretty impressive ZOOs in different countries where the animals are free to roam around. The animals have a lot more freedom if we forget the fact that they live in captivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ZOO in Paphos is a little different, as it started as a bird park and gradually expanded. Cyprus<\/strong><\/a> is a place where land is a luxury, which also translates to the enclosures being the size they are – relatively small. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Those are just my impressions and opinions, but feel free to visit and make your own judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The photos in here are from my last visit on a gorgeous February<\/strong><\/a> Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was the first very warm weekend after the rainy season took a little break and let us enjoy the outdoors again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ZOO in Paphos feels very lush and natural, so for us, the escape to a bit of nature was more of a motivation than the animals themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
