Melios

December 18, 2019

A wonderful day Full of Excitement!

It is the owner’s, Menelaos Menelaou known to all as “Melios”, strong passion and love for birds & animals that has allowed him over the last 30 years to create a beautiful place with birds & animals from around the world, from rare & exotic to cute & unusual, and of course, birds & animals that are unique in Cyprus.

There is a large variety of birds, the beautiful talking parrots, striking cranes, eagles, hawks, the unusual Marabou Stork from Africa and many more.

Over the past few years, we have welcomed the arrival of some special mammals such as lions, tigers and Eurasian Lynx while also “spoiling” our older residents, our kangaroos, deer, antelopes and Hyenas.

The mini farm is greatly fun also, with ponies, goats, sheep, Zebu cows and the not-so-mini and striking Watusi cattle and Highlander Cows.

There is a very special atmosphere at Melios created by the paths that lead you in and around the park and are among the trees, the aromatic shrubs & herbs, the sounds surrounding the area and the excitement because you can’t wait to see what the next bird or animal will be.

What makes it so enjoyable is that you can see the birds & animals up close and you get to feed them too!

For those who want that special experience, there is the walk through the aviary which is full of beautiful flying birds.

Additionally, you can enter the Ringed-tailed Lemur enclosure and spend some quality time with these adorable animals – contact us for further details.

There is a large playground suitable for all age groups that allows even the toddlers have fun and a cafeteria offering a variety of snacks & drinks, not to mention the delicious Cypriot kebabs on most Sundays!
