    Hiking

    The Strofylia Wetlands are part of the Kotychi-Strofylia National Park. The area is protected under the Ramsar Convention and is part of the Natura 2000 network.

    Strofylia Forest: The largest pine forest in Greece (predominantly Pinus pinea) stretches across 22 km² along the coast.

    Lagoons and Marshes: The ecosystem includes the Kotychi, Prokopos, and Araxos (also known as Papa) lagoons, as well as the Lamia marsh.

    Biodiversity: It is an important stopover for migratory birds on the western migration route. Inhabitants include herons, flamingos, sea turtles, and rare duck species.

    Hiking

    Landscape: The region is characterized by the contrast between the deep blue sea, shifting sand dunes (up to 10 meters high), and dense forests.

    There are eight marked hiking trails (H1-H8) and four cycling routes (C1-C4) with varying levels of difficulty.

    Birdwatching: Special observation towers at the lagoons offer views of the rich birdlife.

    Beach: Kalogria Beach borders the national park and is known for its fine sand and shallow water.
