Description
Lake Almyros is one of the most important wetlands of western Crete. In the lake you can find many aquatic birds. The lake is not only worth a visit for waterfowl. In Georgioupoulis I found the largest kmečka lastovka roost I have seen so far! Among the other birds you can encounter are zelenonogi martinec, močvirski martinec, kozica, mali martinec, pikasti martinec, vodomec, planinski hudournik, mala bela caplja, rumenonogi galeb, lišček, laški vrabec and svilnica.
