Description
Lake Almyros is one of the most important wetlands of western Crete. In the lake you can find many aquatic birds. The lake is not only worth a visit for waterfowl. In Georgioupoulis I found the largest σταβλοχελίδονο roost I have seen so far! Among the other birds you can encounter are Πρασινοσκέλης, Λασπότρυγγας, (Κοινό) Μπεκατσίνι, Ακτίτης, Δασότρυγγας, (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη, Βουνοσταχτάρα, (Κοινός) Λευκοτσικνιάς, Ασημόγλαρος της Μεσογείου, (Κοινή) Καρδερίνα, Italian Sparrow and (Ευρωπαϊκό) Ψευταηδόνι.
