May is quite a good time to check out animal-related attractions, since the weather is reliable without being remarkably hot. The Paphos Bird and Animal Park features a large array of animals, including a reptile house with Nile crocodiles, and numerous types of snakes. There is also an indoor amphitheatre which has regular parrot and owl shows. There is a petting farm and a souvenir shop, so adults and children should all be entertained.
For a relatively secluded nature spot, the Lara Bay Turtle Conservation Station at Akamas is a pleasant beach, with a sandy area in the south-east of the bay, which houses numerous turtles that are being conserved (especially the Chelonia mydas species, which is in danger of extinction) and there is a hut telling visitors about the turtles.
