Zoo

The Petrides Farm Park is located in the Marki village in the Nicosia district. It is a green farm with animals, games, sport areas, cafes in a great area in which the whole family can enjoy a relaxing time away from the city centre.

The particular farm is not only for recreation, but also educational as children have the opportunity to learn about the different farm animals that live there, offering an educational character to the whole concept.

The project began with Mr. Christos Christophorou’s love for Bird and Wild life.

The zoo was originally going to be for the private use of Mr. Christophorou, in order to house his large collection of birds. However he decided to open the Paphos zoo for the public, so that others may also enjoy the beauties of his private collection and to make it a unique zoo in Cyprus. Another aim that Mr. Christoforou had was to train the local community about the importance of taking care and maintaining all the wild animals.

The Limassol zoo is located on the coastal road of Limassol, and is the biggest zoo in Cyprus.
