The lake is part of the Natura 2000 natura network due to the large number of migrating birds and flamingos that can often be found during the wetter months. Paralimni is the administrative centre of the Famagusta region and a bustling town full of history and interesting twisty streets. There are a wealth of independent shops, cafes and delicious eateries in the town and you can easily wile away a few hours drinking coffee and watching the world go by.The main square hosts many events through the year including the annual Carnival.

This is a huge, fun affair 6 weeks before Orthodox Easter. Most of the local population can be found celebrating during Carnival week and the finale boasts a procession that takes over three hours to pass through the centre. In December, there is a winter wonderland` with rides, ice skating and stalls to drink hot wine and buy Christmas fancies.ABOUT THE FAMAGUSTA REGIONWhether you are planning to visit the Famagusta region of the Republic of Cyprus for the first time or you are already in love with the area, there is something here for everyone.The area is not known as the Jewel of the Eastern Mediterranean` for nothing!
