ABOUT METHONI
The ancient Eretrian settlement of Methoni.
Is located at the interface between the Thessaloniki plain, the hilly terrain of Pieria and the shoreline of Thermaic Gulf, has gone through numerous wartime situations over the past centuries.
Methoni has been well known as an important harbor during the Greek times closely affiliated with the Athenian Alliance. According to historical manuscripts the urban settlement was distanced from the harbor.
However, there exist no historical references about either the distance or the potential locations of the harbor.
What to Do
NEA AGATHOUPOLI BIRDWATCHING TOWER
The wetland of Nea Agathoupoli is an ideal destination to experience the great outdoors. This is a beautiful coastal wetland located to the south of the Aliakmonas delta hosting halophytic vegetation, tamarisks and extended reedbeds, which are home to important bird species.
Your excursion can begin from the birdwatching tower, operated by the Axios-Loudias-Aliakmonas Management Authority. From this tower, visitors can enjoy the impressive view of the Aliakmonas Delta and the Thermaic gulf, using a telescope and binoculars. Next to the observation tower is the starting point of a twenty-minute circular route around the wetland, giving visitors the chance to see the region’s aquatic life and wading birds at close quarters. Also, adults and children can ride the bikes, which are made available by the Management Authority, along the cycle trail linking the hide to the beach of Methoni.
Your visit can come to a close with some local gastronomy, at the seaside taverns of neighboring Methoni.
