Cyprus

We had an incredible two weeks in Cyprus in September, with a couple of days of fantastic birdwatching! We saw about 20 new species! The best moment was swimming alongside a Green sea turtle (not the one pictured) at a beach for about 15 minutes. It was such a shock and an incredible experience!
