Where is the Sanctuary?

The sanctuary is situated near Asomatos and Akrotiri, about 10km west of Limassol (Lemesos) in Cyprus. Cyprus is located in the Eastern Mediterranean, north of Egypt, south of Turkey and south-east of Greece.

Directions:

Take the Kolossi exit from the Limassol-Paphos Motorway and turn left at the T-junction, then
1st right signpost to Akrotiri. Past the castle, past the second turning to the left, about 1 mile there is a dangerous curve sign, then after 100 yards a tarmac road to the right, with a red sign for the cat sanctuary. Turn right and the Cat Sanctuary is immediately on your left.

.follow signs to Kolossi Castle and then Akrotiri. Keep on the main road to Akrotiri and eventually you will see a turning to the left to Asomatos and Limassol - go past this turning and go past the Military Police building (on the right). After about 200m look out for a turning on the right - you'll see a "slow down - cat sanctuary" sign -

Alternatively, at the Limassol Port Roundabout on the Motorway, take the Port exit. Follow the road almost to the port and turn right at the traffic lights sign posted to Akrotiri. After about 6km Turn left at the T-Junction towards Akrotiri. There is a dangerous curve sign, then after 100 yards a tarmac road to the right, with a red sign for the cat sanctuary. Turn right and the Cat Sanctuary is immediately on your left.

If coming along the sea coast road, past the old port roundabout, go over 4 sets of traffic lights, after about a mile the road forks, take left-hand road, continue to T-junction, turn left as above. If you get to Phassouri nursery you have passed the cat turn off.

If you come to the clearing with large antennas, you've definately gone too far!

Visiting us...

Feeding times vary depending on the time of the year but are usually around 2:00pm. In the summer when it gets very hot, this can be a little later. You can usually find someone caring for the cats in the late afternoons.

If you would like to know more about our cats and the work we do, this is a good time to visit. Our cats love affection and are always on the lookout for a new pair of hands! Prepare to fall in love with at least one cat or kitten!!

You can come along at feeding time and make a fuss of the cats; they love attention and affection. Bring your family along; if you and your family are unsure of animals and cats in particular this is a very good way to better understand them and their needs. If you bring young children, please keep them under supervision.
