Strofilia National Park - Western Greece

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist harispomonis brings us this excellent drone video from Greece's Strofilia National Park. It's located in the western part of the Peloponnese, near the entrance to the Gulf of Patras which separates the Peloponnese Peninsula from the Greek mainland. The park covers an area of wetlands which runs on a roughly north-south axis between the Ionian Sea and the Kotychi Lagoon. It is home to over 250 bird species, roughly 60% of all species which can be found in the entire country.
