Strofilia Lake
Λίμνη Στροφυλιάς
A wetland lagoon behind the pine forest of Koukounaries, with wooden boardwalks inside the protected area, good for birdwatching and seeing pine reflections on the water.
Strofilia Lagoon lies behind Koukounaries Beach. Together with the pine forest and dunes, it forms a protected natural area (Natura 2000). It is a habitat for migratory birds and local waterbirds, and in spring and autumn you can see egrets, cormorants, and various ducks. There are simple trails and viewpoints by the lake. The lake's reflection of the pine forest is most beautiful in the early morning. From here, you can walk north to Mandraki Beach. Because it is a protected area, do not enter the water or pick plants. Mosquitoes are common in summer. It is reachable on foot from the Koukounaries bus terminus.
