Pafos Zoo

Pafos Zoo in Peyia, Paphos, is a popular family-friendly attraction set among plenty of trees, offering a surprisingly wide variety of animals for a compact site. Visitors typically spend two to three hours exploring easy-to-walk paths, with enclosures that keep animals well cared for in clean surroundings. Highlights praised by guests include the daily bird show, close-up lemur feeding (available for a small extra charge), and the chance to feed an elephant — a memorable, if pricier, add-on that groups can share.

White lions and rhinos are among the animals that regularly draw attention. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and animal talks add to the experience, making it well suited to families, couples, and animal lovers alike. An on-site restaurant offers reasonably priced food and drinks for a relaxed break during your visit.

Cooler months such as January are ideal, as summer midday heat can make walking around less comfortable despite the shade. Open daily from 09:00 to 18:00, Pafos Zoo makes for a rewarding day out on Cyprus's west coast.
