Lake Vistonida: A Vibrant Wetland of International Importance in Thrace
Lake Vistonida is one of the most significant wetlands in Greece and Europe, located in Thrace near Porto Lagos, between Xanthi and Rhodope. As a protected area under the Natura 2000 network and the Ramsar Convention, it is internationally recognized for its exceptional biodiversity and environmental value. This unique ecosystem attracts scientists, birdwatchers, nature lovers, and travelers seeking authentic wildlife experiences.
The wider region of Thrace, famous for its extensive wetland landscapes from the Evros Delta to the Nestos Delta, hosts one of Europe’s richest bird habitats. At Lake Vistonida, more than 300 bird species have been recorded, including rare and threatened species such as the Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus), pink flamingos, swans, cormorants, and herons. The lake is also home to otters (Lutra lutra) and coypus, which can often be seen along its shores and reedbeds.
Lake Vistonida offers ideal conditions for birdwatching, wildlife photography, and ecotourism, thanks to its blend of brackish and fresh water, wet meadows, and vast reedbeds. It is a destination that combines natural beauty, tranquility, and unique outdoor experiences—making it one of the top nature attractions in Northern Greece.
