Description
The road between Efthalou and Skala Sikaminias is a rough dirt road which leads through small valleys and next to steep cliffs while having a great view over the sea strait between Lesvos and Turkey. The valleys are great during migration: many birds, especially during autumn migration, tend to rest in these valleys and bushes can be packed with songbirds, like Fauvette épervière, Pouillot siffleur and Bruant ortolan. Other migrants, like Loriot d'Europe and large flocks of Guêpier d'Europe, are very common. Local breeding species can be found here too, like Fauvette passerinette, Fauvette orphéane and Mésange lugubre. Many shrikes and buntings, like Bruant cendrillard and Pie-grièche à tête rousse, can be seen on the more drier areas. Perdrix choukar can be seen and heard too.
The shores are great for gulls, like large flocks of resting Goéland leucophée. Within these flocks, mostly indiviual, Goéland d'Audouin can be found.
The road is also great for observing crossing daytime migrants, like raptors, coming from Turkey. Offshore, flocks of Puffin yelkouan and small numbers of Puffin de Scopoli can be seen. If you're lucky, Bottlenosed Dolpins show up.

The road is easy accessable from both sides: or Efthalou or Skala Sikaminias. It's a dirt road with some steep parts, so a 4x4 is recommended.
