Site description (2012 baseline):
Site location and context
In the south-west ‘corner’ of Cyprus, a small promontory is important principally for its rocky coastline, which hosts Greater Sand Plover (Charadrius leschenaultii) on migration and in the winter. The site is designated as a Special Protection Area principally for the plover, but also regularly attracts herons, waders and various passerine species on migration.
