Mazotos Camel Park - a fantastic place for the whole family!

Hey there guys! It is another overwhelmingly hot summer day in Cyprus!

Summer is definitely in full swing now!
This weekend was a great one- full of swimming, sun-tanning and fun!
On Sunday I have visited for the first time Mazotos Camel Park ( 11km from Larnaca in the direction of Kiti village) and I am wondering why have I never went there before!! It is such an amazing place!

The entrance fee is 9 euros for adults (which includes entrance fee, camel ride and admittance to the pool ).The whole territory is not very big but very picturesque :)

And there is definitely a reason why it is called Camel park :)


There are a lot of camels there! and they are sooo cute!!!


I did go on that camel ride -wohoo - that was one hell of experience! My heart almost stopped when the camel was standing up from the lying position he was in when I got on :)



There is also a setting of how beduin tent looks like ( had loads of fun there making pics with all the decoration available there- sword, hookah etc.)

The place also boasts a cafeteria where you can get a lunch .
And there is also a small zoo called Noah's Ark with a very small variety of animals: Horses, goats, donkeys, camels (of course) , rabbits, two tired-looking porcupines, chickens and peacocks.


And after heart-stopping camel ride and ahhing and oohing at the animals we hit the swimming pool :) ahhh bliss..
So when you are in Cyprus , definitely check this place out!! Cheers!!
