Morning light filters through banana palms as a small minibus slides away from Paphos and into rural groves. The day opens at Pafos Zoo: cages, enclosures and open aviaries break up into pockets of sound — parrots calling like gossip, hyenas padded into shade, meerkats standing sentry. The guide points out breeding programs and regional conservation work while families move from reptile house to walk-through aviary.
