I am planning to go to Cyprus for a holiday in the middle of March primarily to look for orchids. I am looking for good information as to where to search. I bought Hubbard and Scraton’s Orchids of Cyprus 2001 but the book is a bit out of date and the locations are often very general and not particularly helpful. When searching on the internet I came across your photos of Ophrys kitschyi at Akrotiri. I wonder if you could advise me where to search for them there. Any help that you can give would be most appreciated.
Best regards
