Agia Paraskevi area. The river is located 2,5 km to the SW of Agia Paraskevi and its estuary is between the Kalloni Salt Pans and the Messa wetland.
Milopotamos River springs are found within the pine forest and it is formed by two tributary streams that meet 4 km away from the sea.
The estuary, which is 0,70 hectares wide, joins with one end of the peripheral canal of the Kalloni Pans.
A few days ago, Flamingos, Cormorants, yellow-legged, Black-headed and Slender-billed Gulls, Greenshanks, Kingfishers, etc. were recorded here.
It is an exceptional site to observe migrant birds as the river vegetation is left relatively intact (reeds and tamarisks).
Every year, the estuary and lower parts of its bed support breeding pairs of Little Ringed and Kentish Plover, Ruddy and Common Shelducks, Nightingales, Olivaceous and Cetti’s Warblers, Bee-eaters, etc.
