Larnaka Salt Lake

During the winter, the lake fills with water and is home to migrating birds. In 1997 it was declared a protected area under Cypriot Law for the Prote­ction and Management of Nature and Wildlife and under the European Ha­bitats Directive. It is a significant Ramsar and Natura 2000 site - one of the most significant biotopes in Europe - and one of the most important habitats in Europe for waterfowl.
