The Kouris river

Did you know that the island of Cyprus has about 35 rivers and streams? Most of these rivers are quite small. They also don't flow with water all year round.

Many rivers get their water from melting snow high up in the mountains. This water flows until late April. Other rivers are just winter streams that appear when it rains a lot. They usually dry up completely during the hot summer months.
