Site summary
This scrub-dominated site, consisting of two steep-sided valleys that merge at Kouris dam, is important as the only site beyond Episkopi cliffs where Griffon Vulture has been known to nest in recent years. The extensive areas of dense shrubland at this site also make it important for Cyprus Warbler.
