Flora & Fauna – The Unexpected Colors of Cyprus

Cyprus isn’t just golden beaches and sun-bleached stone — it’s also wildflowers in bloom, shimmering lizards on warm rock, and migratory birds dancing across open skies. The island’s flora and fauna are a quiet wonder, unfolding slowly for those who look closely.

In the Sanyctours Gallery, the natural color palette of Cyprus comes to life: purple orchids tucked along forest trails, scarlet poppies sweeping through the fields in spring, and the soft silver of olive leaves under a mountain breeze. Tortoises bask in roadside warmth. Flamingos turn the salt lakes pink. Bees hum over thyme-covered hillsides.

From the Troodos peaks to coastal wetlands, Cyprus is home to over 1,800 plant species — many of them endemic — and a surprising range of wildlife: wild sheep, foxes, chameleons, butterflies, and over 380 recorded bird species.

This gallery celebrates that vibrant life. Not the rarest sightings, but the everyday magic of a living island — resilient, colorful, and full of small miracles.
