Description
A mountainous area with a good view of the bay. In July the amount of birds are quite scarce (as most times in summer in Greece). But there are some.
Walking south from Lefkos along the Poatli beach you will find a small trail where the road ends at the left of the last house. (The dog outside seemed friendly and was on a leash when I visited.) Follow the trail upwards and you will find a small meadow with a ruin, here look out for Bláþröstungur. On the other side of the ruins follow the goat trail along the coastline around the ridge. The path can be a bit winding and rough to walk so watch your steps. In the shrubs there will be plenty of Hjálmsöngvari and higher up on the south side of the ridge Topplævirki and Trjálævirki.
The area showed to be good for Eyfálki, where an individual of the dark morph was seen. Out at the sea Kóralmáfur can be seen.

Access
It's a rather rough walk and good shoes are needed. The goat trail will sooner or later disappear but it worked quite well to continue off road. Further up the terrain becomes tougher, and the walk harder, especially on the way down.
