Description

Along the route between Achladeri and Skamnioudi, a very small harbour is located. This harbour is known by birders as one of the best places to find mustanmerenlokki on the island. Often, several individuals can be seen on the pier. Other species that can be seen here are other gulls, terns and the occasional wader.

On the other side of the road, a small wetland is located that can be worth visiting during early spring, while it's still wet. Species like herons, egrets, waders and flocks of pipits and wagtails can be seen here.
