Description
Just north of Kalloni, the rocky area of Madaros can be found. This is a great spot to find some typical inland species that inhabit rocky outcrops, dry valleys and scrubby hillsides. The best part of the area is when the track leads up the hill. This track provides a great view over the surrounding valleys and the adjacent scrubs and foliage is great for many typical inland species, like Восточноорфейская славка, Рыжегрудая славка and (during migration) many species of migrating songbird, like Ястребиная славка. With a bit of luck, you can find Тугайный соловей here too.
The rocky outcrops in the area are great for species like Малый скальный поползень, Красноклювая овсянка and Испанская каменка. Checking the valley from off the track, you might have a chance to see (small flocks of) Кеклик.
Some parts of the track also provide a view over the riverbed of Tsiknias River, so species like Огарь, herons and egrets can be seen too.

Access
The area can be accessed by a dirt road that leads you from Kalloni towards the parking spot (see map). It's best to walk the track up and down to see as many birds as possible.
