The agama is endemic to Cyprus, where it occurs throughout the island at elevations of up to 1,930 m. It inhabits rocky areas with a range of arid, semi-arid, and Mediterranean habitats. It adapts well to human-modified areas such as towns, gardens, and agricultural areas, and is known to nest in walls, warehouses, and the edges of fields. It also lives in phrygana shrubland, but this is not thought to be a preferred habitat and Cyprus rock agamas living in these areas have probably been expelled from more ideal habitats by other agamas.[1]
