Birding in Western Greece
Two of Greece's largest wetlands: lagoons, salt pans and reedbeds full of pelicans, waders and herons.
Best season: April to May, and September to October
The Messolonghi–Aitoliko lagoons and the Amvrakikos Gulf are protected wetlands of international importance. Dalmatian Pelicans breed here, and spring and autumn bring big movements of waders, terns and herons.
Quiet roads and wide views make this region ideal for unhurried birding and photography from the vehicle.
