Have you ever been moved by the images of wild birds gracefully flying over a lake with a winter sunset in the background? Although it may seem intimidating, birdwatching is a straightforward method to connect with Greece’s untamed nature and witness rare species that can only be found in books. All you need is a pair of binoculars, patience and a passion to explore to uncover the marvels of wild Greece.

Ervos Delta
Noted as the birdwatchers’ paradise of the country, the Ervos Delta is one of the most pristine natural wetlands in Greece. Hosting countless bird species, the Delta serves as an important crossroad in the migratory routes of birds traveling from cold northern Europe environments to warmer climes of the southern Mediterranean. Among many rare European species, one can encounter Spoonbills, dozens of different types of marshland birds, and even swans waiting patiently for the winter to pass before the summer arrives. For this reason, every winter the Evo Delta is “overrun” with countless species of rare birds, making it an ideal location for observing birds in their natural habitat.
