The Cypriot Flamingos

Official achievement authored by Bobby Allen.

Cyprus is the third largest and most populus island in the Mediterranean Sea. Its capital and largest city is Nicosia.

The salt lake next to Larnaca International airport is one of the top spots to see the Flamingo and therefore, likely that you'll catch a glimpse of one or more Flamingos before even touching down on the tarmac!

It's not just "Flamingo spotting" that can be done on the island and there are many more entertaining things and fun to be had by family members of all ages including relaxing at the gorgeous sandy beaches, a trip to the water park or night club scene in the town of Ayia Napa.

The local bus service and taxi's can have you getting up close and personal with real and authentic view of the historical island's culture and it's not rare to see the locals traveling around on donkey cart's even to this day!

Cyprus was, up until very recently (in 2011) had a real-life ghost town (Famagusta which, following the Turkish invasion of the north of the island in 1974, was left abandoned and a "no mans land" imposed and secured by UN peace-keeping forces.

The island is also home to RAF Akrotiri, a large British Airforce base that was regularly used as a staging post and launch station for special operations into the middle eastern (Iraq, Syria etc) conflict zones. The base has seen many aircraft stationed there over the years including the Eurofighter Typhoon and F35 Lighting II jet aircraft.

Today, Cyprus is peaceful and is an amazing and beautiful island which keeps holiday makers coming back year after year!
