North Cyprus has an astonishing diversity of plants and at the time of our tour the land is ablaze with colour; the diversity of orchids, in particular, will excite keen botanists. This is a 2-centre holiday and our first base will be near the delightful fishing harbour of Girne. From here we’ll botanise on the foothills and wooded slopes of the Besparmak Mountains and watch for flurries of migrant birds including harriers, larks, pipits, warblers and flycatchers. During the second part of the tour we’ll be based on the far eastern tip of North Cyprus where we’ll explore maquis scrub and hope to see birds such as Little Crake and Pied Kingfisher in wetland areas, as well as aquatic plants.

  • Over 1,250 plant species in North Cyprus
  • 30 species of orchid including the endemic Cyprus Bee Orchid
  • Visit towering Crusader forts & ruins of the Roman city of Salamis
  • Water Rail & Little Bittern, plus Purple & Squacco Herons
  • Carpets of anemones, Crown Daisy & the endemic Ophrys kotschyi
  • Spectacular migrant bird ‘falls’ near Cape Andreas
  • Enjoy tavernas & exploring the cobbled medieval streets of Girne
  • This tour can be combined with our ‘The Island of Cyprus’ holiday
  • Led by expert naturalist guides

Tell me about Cyprus …

The Republic of Cyprus is a rugged, sun-drenched island at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and Europe.

It is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Until independence in 1960, Cyprus was under British administration. The Republic of Cyprus is now divided into two parts, with the northern region occupied by Turkey.


The Troodos Mountains cover the south and central areas of the island, while the narrow Kyrenia range runs along the northern coastline. It has a gentle Mediterranean climate and in early spring, while Western Europe endures late winter gloom, Cyprus enjoys clear blue skies and warm sunshine.

Separated by both politics and religion from the south of ‘Aphrodite’s island’, Northern Cyprus has always retained a distinctive identity, its economy supported by the production of cereals, grapes, citrus fruits and potatoes on the fertile Mesaoria Plain. The Mediterranean charm of the region is epitomised by a sprinkling of little villages which seem barely to have been changed by the passage of time. However, inevitably, as in so many other parts of the Mediterranean, the last few years have seen an increase in tourism to the island and plenty of development, although there are still many areas of outstanding natural beauty to be found here, such as the dramatic scenery and forests surrounding the Crusader castles and the stretches of pristine coastline at Silver Beach. In addition, this is an island that has witnessed over 8,000 years of civilisation and its history can be traced through the many Roman and other monuments and ruins still evident in the countryside.

Northern Cyprus is renowned in the botanical world for the astonishing diversity of its flora. Over 1,250 plant species have been identified, a number of which are endemic to the country. From February to May the land is ablaze with colour, the components of this floral mosaic changing in tone and form as the season advances. The 30 or so species of wild orchid are particularly coveted by botanists and representatives of this exotic family include the stunning endemic Cyprus Bee Orchid (Ophrys kotschyi). The avifauna is also of great interest, the north of the island sharing with the south the presence of two endemic birds, the Cyprus Warbler and the Cyprus Wheatear. During the extended period of spring migration huge numbers of birds pass through Cyprus heading to northern breeding areas. At such times the interesting selection of resident species is augmented by an ever-changing variety of migrants, adding an exciting unpredictability to every excursion.

This is a 2-centre holiday and our first base for this exploration of Northern Cyprus is near the delightful seaside town of Girne, formerly known as Kyrenia. A lively fishing harbour, around which are scattered numerous inviting tavernas, and a network of cobbled medieval streets, lend a timeless attraction to Girne, and these picturesque qualities are enhanced by the peaks of the Besparmak Mountains which rise inland from the town. Our field activities will focus initially on the abundant flora of the foothills and wooded slopes of these mountains, but during our stay we will also be looking for migrant birds at various coastal locations and wetlands.

A wealth of historical sites provides diversions from the natural history and our programme will be flexible in order to accommodate a little of the history of the region alongside our botanical and ornithological activities. Towering Crusader forts and ancient monasteries compete for our attention with reminders of the Roman era, such as the ruins of Salamis city near Famagusta, which many historians regard as the best preserved examples of Roman architecture in the eastern Mediterranean. Flowers thrive here amid the ruins and we should find such orchids as Serapias parviflora, S. orientalis, S. vomeracae, Orchis simia and many Ophrys species amongst the colourful profusion of poppies, Crown Daisies (Chrysanthemum coronarium), endemic Gladiolus triphyllos and handsome spikes of Giant Fennel (Ferula communis).

During the second part of the tour we will search for migrants on the eastern peninsula, near Cape Andreas. Falls can be spectacular and we will watch out for possible Pallid and Montagu’s Harriers, Short-toed Larks, Tawny Pipits, warblers, chats, wagtails and perhaps Wrynecks and flycatchers too. On other days we will wander in the Kyrenia Mountains, a stretch of cliffs and pinnacles of hard limestone, dolomite and marble which forms a dramatic spine-like formation. On the peaks Calabrian Pine and Italian Cypress forests are interspersed with valleys of typical maquis scrub consisting of Arbutus, Myrtus, Laurus and Quercus coccifera. Between the mountains and the rich alluvial central plain lies a hilly area containing reservoirs which are often very productive for birdwatching and aquatic plants. Here we should find Little Crake, Water Rail, Little Bittern, Purple and Squacco Heron, Garganey and possible migrants among the reeds.

Early April is one of the best periods to botanise in Northern Cyprus and among the species we will be expecting to find will be carpets of Anemone coronaria, Cyclamen persicum, Crown Daisy, and many orchids that are typical of the eastern Mediterranean, such as the yellow Orchis morio ssp. syriaca, Ophrys scolopax ssp. lapethica, O. bornmulleri, O. levantina and of course the endemic Ophrys kotschyi. At this season it seems as if every available space is occupied by a profusion of wild flowers providing both a wonderful spectacle and a delight for botanists. Whilst the myriad of blooms are unfurling to welcome a new spring, it is also a period of transition for birds as wintering species are replaced by the newly arrived migrants from Africa.

Summary

Separated by both politics and religion from the south of ‘Aphrodite’s island’, Northern Cyprus has always retained a distinctive identity, its economy supported by the production of cereals, grapes, citrus fruits and potatoes on the fertile Mesaoria Plain. The Mediterranean charm of the region is epitomised by a sprinkling of little villages which seem barely to have been changed by the passage of time. However, inevitably, as in so many other parts of the Mediterranean, the last few years have seen an increase in tourism to the island and plenty of development, although there are still many areas of outstanding natural beauty to be found here, such as the dramatic scenery and forests surrounding the Crusader castles and the stretches of pristine coastline at Silver Beach. In addition, this is an island that has witnessed over 8,000 years of civilisation and its history can be traced through the many Roman and other monuments and ruins still evident in the countryside.

Northern Cyprus is renowned in the botanical world for the astonishing diversity of its flora. Over 1,250 plant species have been identified, a number of which are endemic to the country. From February to May the land is ablaze with colour, the components of this floral mosaic changing in tone and form as the season advances. The 30 or so species of wild orchid are particularly coveted by botanists and representatives of this exotic family include the stunning endemic Cyprus Bee Orchid (Ophrys kotschyi). The avifauna is also of great interest, the north of the island sharing with the south the presence of two endemic birds, the Cyprus Warbler and the Cyprus Wheatear. During the extended period of spring migration huge numbers of birds pass through Cyprus heading to northern breeding areas. At such times the interesting selection of resident species is augmented by an ever-changing variety of migrants, adding an exciting unpredictability to every excursion.

This is a 2-centre holiday and our first base for this exploration of Northern Cyprus is near the delightful seaside town of Girne, formerly known as Kyrenia. A lively fishing harbour, around which are scattered numerous inviting tavernas, and a network of cobbled medieval streets, lend a timeless attraction to Girne, and these picturesque qualities are enhanced by the peaks of the Besparmak Mountains which rise inland from the town. Our field activities will focus initially on the abundant flora of the foothills and wooded slopes of these mountains, but during our stay we will also be looking for migrant birds at various coastal locations and wetlands.

A wealth of historical sites provides diversions from the natural history and our programme will be flexible in order to accommodate a little of the history of the region alongside our botanical and ornithological activities. Towering Crusader forts and ancient monasteries compete for our attention with reminders of the Roman era, such as the ruins of Salamis city near Famagusta, which many historians regard as the best preserved examples of Roman architecture in the eastern Mediterranean. Flowers thrive here amid the ruins and we should find such orchids as Serapias parviflora, S. orientalis, S. vomeracae, Orchis simia and many Ophrys species amongst the colourful profusion of poppies, Crown Daisies (Chrysanthemum coronarium), endemic Gladiolus triphyllos and handsome spikes of Giant Fennel (Ferula communis).

During the second part of the tour we will search for migrants on the eastern peninsula, near Cape Andreas. Falls can be spectacular and we will watch out for possible Pallid and Montagu’s Harriers, Short-toed Larks, Tawny Pipits, warblers, chats, wagtails and perhaps Wrynecks and flycatchers too. On other days we will wander in the Kyrenia Mountains, a stretch of cliffs and pinnacles of hard limestone, dolomite and marble which forms a dramatic spine-like formation. On the peaks Calabrian Pine and Italian Cypress forests are interspersed with valleys of typical maquis scrub consisting of Arbutus, Myrtus, Laurus and Quercus coccifera. Between the mountains and the rich alluvial central plain lies a hilly area containing reservoirs which are often very productive for birdwatching and aquatic plants. Here we should find Little Crake, Water Rail, Little Bittern, Purple and Squacco Heron, Garganey and possible migrants among the reeds.

Early April is one of the best periods to botanise in Northern Cyprus and among the species we will be expecting to find will be carpets of Anemone coronaria, Cyclamen persicum, Crown Daisy, and many orchids that are typical of the eastern Mediterranean, such as the yellow Orchis morio ssp. syriaca, Ophrys scolopax ssp. lapethica, O. bornmulleri, O. levantina and of course the endemic Ophrys kotschyi. At this season it seems as if every available space is occupied by a profusion of wild flowers providing both a wonderful spectacle and a delight for botanists. Whilst the myriad of blooms are unfurling to welcome a new spring, it is also a period of transition for birds as wintering species are replaced by the newly arrived migrants from Africa.
