Description
A combination of wetland, agricultural fields, pine forest, sandy beach and rocky hills is host to many different bird species. More than 200 of them have been reported here. Any time of the year is worth visiting, but spring and autumn can be very productive. A visit can be combined with historic Marathon Tomb, Marathon Museum and Museum of Marathon Race.
