Description
The Dadia-Lefkimi-Soufli Forest National Park is one of the most important protected areas at national, European and international scale. It is one of the first areas in Greece to be declared as protected since a great deal of flora and fauna species found in the Balkan Peninsula, Europe and Asia coexist here. The landscape mosaic formed by pine and oak forests, interrupted by clearings, pastures and fields is the ideal habitat for birds of prey. The National Park hosts three out of the four Vulture species of Europe ( sup tmavohnedý, sup bielohlavý and zdochlinár biely), while it is home to the only breeding population of sup tmavohnedý in the Balkans.
The three best areas are:
Kapsalo hill for good vulture photography and skaliar modrý. When you come to the location, you just need to stand under the rock to wait for vultures.
Dadia village area with the feeding station observatory is nice for more than 12 species of raptors (note - you have kolibiarik balkánsky close to the feeding station observatory)
Diavolorema Bridge for waders, herons and other birds on migration.
