Description

Lake Dalyan is a big lagoon of approximately 1,000 hectares on the Aegean Sea. It is located just south of the Turkish-Greek border in the southern part of the Evros Delta. The shallow lagoon is salty and there is not much vegetation around the sandy shores. But the lake is home to hundreds of waterfowl, waders and migratory birds. Dalyan Lake is famous for its Plamenac, Ružičasti nesit and Kudravi nesit and the many species of waders that can be observed. In winter, also many ducks and grebes visit the lake.
