Possibly Orchis Simia, but without a close-up of the flowers, it;s very hard to tell.

Hi Daniel - i can't remember now but it certainly likes shade and low nutrient soil!

Hi Cyprus Lady! Did the inferior part of each flower look very much like the cut shape of a naked man? Then it could be this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchis_italica But I I understand there also many other species of wild orchids in Cyprus!
