The Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest and the Kalloni EIC in an effort to raise awareness about the Lesvos UNESCO Geopark and the Protected Natural Areas of the island, invite you to take part in our outdoor activities.
Birds in the wetlands of Lesvos change through the seasons. This is the perfect time to observe the winter species that will be with us until February.
Join us on Sunday, January 30, 2022, at 11:00, for a guided birdwatching event at the Kalloni Salt Pans wetland. Our goal is to find 5-8 species of waterfowl (ducks) and also enjoy other wetland birds such as Flamingos, Dalmatian Pelicans, herons etc. At the same time we will explore our most important wetland as reformed after the winter rainfall (Mediterranean seasonal ponds).
Adults and kids older than 8 years old may participate in our event, but families are welcomed! No more than 10 will be allowed in a group (infants included) and, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it is required to register for the event. There will be two groups (10:00 and 11:30) and each guided trip will last approximately 1 hour and a half. Please bring your own binoculars if possible, although binoculars will be available by the center if needed. Masks are required for visitors over the age of 10.
For additional information and to participate in one of the two groups, please contact us: +30-22510-47033.
