In 1997, Argonaftis Tours set up a donkey farm in the Xeros River valley, near the village of Kelokedara, in Pafos district. The beautiful natural landscape and picturesque location, combined with the sounds of nature, compose an ideal place for nature lovers.
On offer there, are veterinary services, shelter, food and proper care for animals. The ultimate goal is to create a healthy breeding program to ensure the species's life in their natural habitat, in a place where young donkeys can have an active life and the elderly can rest in a peaceful environment. The donkey is an integral part of the country's rural heritage and its preservation in the right environment is important not only for current visitors but also for future generations.
The Argonaftis donkey farm is of course a tourist attraction. Visitors, locals and foreigners, coming to the farm have the opportunity to get in touch with the donkeys in their natural environment and to learn things about their life, habits and character. They can also ride a donkey through the tranquil countryside paths see the picturesque monastery built on the hills at the edge of the valley.
