Birding in Thessaly
The restored wetland of Lake Karla and the sandstone pillars of Meteora, with raptors over both.
Best season: April to June, and September to October
Lake Karla was drained in the 1960s and has been partly restored, and birds have come back: pelicans, herons, waders and wintering ducks. The surrounding plain is good for Lanner Falcon and other raptors.
The cliffs of Meteora, crowned by their monasteries, hold Egyptian Vulture, Peregrine and Blue Rock Thrush, a dramatic place to watch birds.
