Default Birdwatching

Hi,

When I was in Paphos in April we stayed at the Kissos Hotel and there was a group of twitchers there consulting their bird notes each night in the bar. They travelled out to various places to view the birdlife each day and I'm sure if there was enough demand for it you could make it a feature eg prizes for spotting the rarest birds, consultations on the best viewing equipment etc (they had some serious gear with them!) However, I would imagine that people like that would all want to come during the migratory season, so as Veronica said you'd need another focus for the quieter months.

Some of my friends/family are into cycling. I would think Cyprus would be a good place for cycling holidays in the winter months as it's so much milder than the rest of Europe, that might be another market to tap into. Triathlon club members are fanatical about bikes! You could plan routes, offer bike hire/bike servicing etc etc.
