Description
Aliki Lake covers an area of about 650 hectares and has retained its near-pristine condition. Aliki is distanced from the sea by a 2 kilometer stretch of dunes, each some 100-150 m in width. The abundance of water in winter lends Aliki the appearance of a lake, while in summer the water evaporates, leaving the area full of salt and making it a salt marsh. The environment of Lake Aliki is conducive to the breeding of several species of birds including the Collared Pratincole, Kentish Plover, Black-winged Stilt and Avocet. Lesser Kestrel als breeds in the area. The nature of the wetland also makes it an excellent resting place for migratory birds. Aliki is known to have the largest seasonal gathering (in spring) of Greater Flamingo in Greece.
