Description

All the way south towards the mouth of Kalloni bay, Makara beach is located. This beach, and especially the surrounding shrubs, groves and wooded areas, are great for arrived and arriving migrant during spring migration. The fields adjacent to the beach are good to look for Prepeliță and Pasărea ogorului. A bit to the west, a small river flows into the sea and provides a good spot for Călifar roșu, Stârc pitic, flycatchers and warblers. The river mouth is also good for foraging waders.
