Angelochori Lagoon and Salt Pit

The protected area of Angelochori Lagoon is located in the land part of the capes of Megalo Karampournou and Tuzla, which define from the south the Gulf of Thessaloniki. Although small in area, this area hosts rich biodiversity and is particularly important for the avifauna. In this small area, 200 species of birds have been observed, some of which are rare and endangered.
The protected area borders with the village of Angelochori, a small seaside village, with well-known landmarks the Lighthouse of the Great Piston, but also the Fortress built during the Ottoman Empire at a point considered of strategic importance since antiquity, because it controlled the passage to the gulf of Thessaloniki.
