It is located on the western side of the mouth of the Gulf of Kalloni, 4 km SW of Apotheka and has an area of 13 acres.<\/p>\n
It is formed by the estuary of the seasonal stream which, after the end of the rainy season, is cut off from the sea, forming a pocket of water that is particularly valuable during the summer months until (some years) the autumn.<\/p>\n
It is home to Mediterranean Gulls (which visit to wash their feathers from the salt!), Pipits, Cormorants, Cormorants and quite a few Barn Swallows. It also maintains fairly large concentrations of young tadpoles and a small population of Striped Water Turtles. Finally, it is important that it is protected by the Presidential Decree for small island wetlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-thesis":[206],"geologikes-thesis":[],"oikologikes-thesis":[219],"politistikes-thesis":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/7162"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/poi"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-thesis?post=7162"},{"taxonomy":"geologikes-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/geologikes-thesis?post=7162"},{"taxonomy":"oikologikes-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oikologikes-thesis?post=7162"},{"taxonomy":"politistikes-thesis","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lesvosgeopark.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/politistikes-thesis?post=7162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
