About Periochi Tzionia

Periochi Tzionia

Periochi Tzionia is a Special Protection Area (SPA) within the European Natura 2000 network, located in the interior of Cyprus. Designated in April 2008, the site covers roughly 6,843 hectares entirely on land and sits within the broader Mediterranean ecoregion, where its protection status is defined primarily by its birdlife rather than by any formally listed habitat types. The site's significance lies in its role as one of Cyprus's recognized bird conservation areas. A substantial inventory of protected bird species, including raptors, passerines, and migratory visitors, underlies the formal designation of the area. Its position within the Mediterranean landscape gives it relevance for both resident breeding populations and species whose ranges extend across the wider region. Although strictly an avifaunal protection site rather than a national park in the conventional visitor sense, Periochi Tzionia represents one of the named Natura 2000 zones through which Cyprus contributes to the European Union's broader effort to safeguard important bird areas under the Birds Directive.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
