Ziros Wetland
ABOUT
The wider Sitia region holds significant environmental value.
In the natural inland wetland of Ziros, a permanent freshwater marsh stretching across 3 stremmas, you'll find flora and fauna species that need protection.
The Cretan Frog (Pelophylax cretensis) makes its home here, along with many migratory birds.
Among them:
Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)
Little Egret (Egretta garzetta)
Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus)
Squacco Heron (Ardeola ralloides)
Black-headed Wagtail (Motacilla flava feldegg)
Purple Heron (Ardea purpurea)
