Beschrijving
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 Sperwergrasmus, Fluiter and Ortolaan. Other migrants, like Wielewaal and large flocks of Bijeneter, are very common. Local breeding species can be found here too, like Baardgrasmus, Oostelijke Orpheusgrasmus and Rouwmees. Many shrikes and buntings, like Bruinkeelortolaan and Roodkopklauwier, can be seen on the more drier areas. Aziatische Steenpatrijs can be seen and heard too.
The shores are great for gulls, like large flocks of resting Geelpootmeeuw. Within these flocks, mostly indiviual, Audouins Meeuw can be found.
The road is also great for observing crossing daytime migrants, like raptors, coming from Turkey. Offshore, flocks of Yelkouanpijlstormvogel and small numbers of Scopoli's Pijlstormvogel can be seen. If you're lucky, Bottlenosed Dolpins show up.

Toegang
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.
