Alykoudi marsh

Polichnitos area. It is located 3 km NW of the Lisvori village (east coast of the Kalloni Gulf).

It is a brackish marsh (west part) and a freshwater marsh (east part) separated from the sea by a thin line of land.

It dries out during summer to be flooded again the following winter.

In winter, the usual overwintering species are recorded here: Flamingos, Shelducks and other ducks, Yellow-legged Gulls, etc

Alykoudi marsh is a very rewarding site to observe waders and other wetland birds during their spring passage (which is about to start!!) and an important breeding area for the Pied Avocet, Kentish Plover, and the Black-winged Stilt.
