Access

Access by car from this road 37.188291, 27.599750 that is the main birdwatching trail. Click on the P in the map for directions or coordinates. The tactic is - you follow the road, spot and watch birds and then see if you have a chance to get closer using small paths and other unpaved roads. Try to get here as early as possible, because it gets really hot after 9 am in summer and the light is not good for taking photos.
