Descrizione
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 Bigia padovana, Luì verde and Ortolano. Other migrants, like Rigogolo and large flocks of Gruccione, are very common. Local breeding species can be found here too, like Sterpazzolina, Bigia grossa orientale and Cincia dalmatina. Many shrikes and buntings, like Ortolano grigio and Averla capirossa, can be seen on the more drier areas. Coturnice orientale can be seen and heard too.
The shores are great for gulls, like large flocks of resting Gabbiano reale. Within these flocks, mostly indiviual, Gabbiano corso can be found.
The road is also great for observing crossing daytime migrants, like raptors, coming from Turkey. Offshore, flocks of Berta minore and small numbers of Berta maggiore mediterranea can be seen. If you're lucky, Bottlenosed Dolpins show up.

Accesso
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.
