As of 2022, Cyprus Bird Watching Tours will be conducting Odonata tours starting from May right through to October every year.
Cyprus is a prime Odonata destination, with 38 species recorded, some of which are quite rare in Europe, one (Persian Bluetail) of which is only found in Cyprus (in Europe).
Tours are operated the same as the birding tours, full or half days. Due to the weather conditions, Sun cream is vital. Clients also must bring wellington/rain boots, and a hat. These tours are photography focused, so time with each subject will be lengthy. If you wish to find and photograph exuviae and larva as well, just state in the email. To book a tour just follow the "book a tour" page.
Belonging to the Cyprus Dragonfly Study group and with over 8 years of experience with Odonata in Cyprus, you couldn't be in better hands.
