Toegang
Drive to Kouklia village and when you get to the mosque take the turning opposite there is a signed entrance. Follow the central track down to a car park on left with tall viewing tower on right. On the opposite side of the wetland is a water retension barrage with a hide that you can walk to along the top of the barrage. It's a trek worth making.

The Kouklia Lake is a reservoir that forms the temporary shallow lake habitat of Kukla Wetlands, which is no deeper than two meters. The reservoir used to be deeper, however it has been used for agriculture in dry seasons for many years and has silted up in time. It can totally dry during summer, however it can hold water for couple of years once it gets relatively full. At the eastern side of the lake the reservoir wall is fringed by phragmites reeds which can become extensive in wet times. The southeast corner is the deepest part and the wetland gets gradually shallower west and northwards. The reservoir habitat homes the majority of the birds seen at the site.
