Cats Sanctuary

On your way to Akrotiri, a small indicator to right shows the way to MCPS - Cat Sanctuary. Is Malcolm Cat Protection Society (http://www.malcolmcat.org/) . Here , abandoned cats found a welcoming home. Going inside you are immediately surrounded by their velvety meows. You’ll find there relaxation, playing friends and maybe some little scratches.

They say that in old times, visiting the island, Empress Helena of Constantinople was amazed by the number of venomous snakes and how many people die from them. Knowing that cats successfully fight against snakes, she sent two ships with cats. They were left on the island at, as now called, Cat Cape (Gata Cape), not far from Akrotiri. Nearby the monastery St Nicholas Cats was erected.
