Thermisia Lagoon & Venetian Castle
37° 25.2′ N · 23° 18.2′ E · approximate
A coastal lagoon and wetland that serves as a stopover for rare migratory birds, overlooked by the 12th-century Venetian castle of Thermisi on its crag.
Practical
Coordinate approx: the OSM castle node; the lagoon lies below it by the sea. Medieval salt pans worked here; today it is a protected habitat — watch birds from the shore, keep dogs on leads. Best in spring and autumn migration.
