Cyprus Wildlife

In the herb gardens you will see many species of Cyprus’ wildlife, such as: birds, lizards, butterflies, bees and if you are lucky, hedgehogs! Although hedgehogs are nocturnal animals and there is a very slim chance of seeing them roam about during the day, we are a rescue sanctuary for hedgehogs that used to be pets at home, and we slowly re-introduce them to the outdoors world again. On the left picture is Legolas, the albino hedgehog.

Butterfly Hatchery

During the summer breeding season for butterflies, explore the captivating Swallowtail butterfly life cycle at Cyherbia. Visit the butterfly hatchery near the Botanicus Bistro to witness cocoons and newborn butterflies as they practice their wing skills before taking flight in the lush gardens. It’s a magical encounter with nature’s transformation and the graceful Swallowtail butterflies in action.
