Birding in Attica
Birding within an hour of Athens: coastal wetlands, pine-clad mountains and farmland full of buntings and shrikes.
Best season: All year; best March to May
Visitors are often surprised how much birding there is around Athens. Small coastal wetlands attract migrants and waders, the hills hold warblers, raptors and Rock Nuthatch, and the open farmland of the Mesogeia plain is good for buntings and larks.
A half or full day is enough to see a good selection, which makes Attica perfect for a day trip before or after a city break.
