Karpathos is suitable for bird tourism<\/strong> as it is the last destination of migratory birds before they fly to Africa. This is a real “oasis of refueling” for migratory birds passing through their journey between Europe and Africa. Indeed, on the island is a unique kind of eagle, that of the Thalassopetrites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It is a great place for bird watching and features those features that can make it an important bird-friendly destination.<\/p>\n The main advantages of the region can be summarized as follows:<\/p>\n (a) a wide variety of birds (small birds, raptors, seabirds)<\/p>\n (b) rare species such as Spizaetos, Aegean Gull, Maupropetris and many migratory species<\/p>\n (c) easy bird watching and photographing, particularly during the migration period (e.g. observation of large raptors using the migratory corridor passing through Karpathos for their trip to Africa)<\/p>\n (d) important habitat types supporting the presence of different bird species<\/p>\n (e) rich cultural and folklore interest with local traditions and many forms of folk art surviving to date and<\/p>\n (f) the protected area of Karpathos, Saria and Astakidonision, which has been included in the NATURA 2000 European Network of Protected Areas, protected and managed by the Management Authority of Karpathos – Saria.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=”20″ screen_normal_resolution=”1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=”800″ screen_mobile_resolution=”480″][dfd_modal_box display_options=”on_click” button_text=”“Guide and Map of Birdwatching“” modal_tb_padding=”10″ modal_lr_padding=”10″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_hover_color=”#ffffff” background=”#1681bf” hover_background=”#919191″ box_shadow=”box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)” hover_box_shadow=”box_shadow_enable:disable|shadow_horizontal:0|shadow_vertical:15|shadow_blur:50|shadow_spread:0|box_shadow_color:rgba(0%2C0%2C0%2C0.35)” modal_box_width=”600″ button_font_options=”font_size:18″ tutorials=””][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The Tourism Committee of the Municipality of Karpathos has released the Birdwatching Guide<\/strong> entitled “The Karpathian Birds<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n The guide includes over 200 bird species that can be observed, a bird’s-eye map and 10 + 2 routes that can be followed by a wildlife man visiting Karpathos.<\/p>\n The form and the map have been published in Greek<\/strong> and English<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][dfd_single_image image=”17650″][\/dfd_modal_box][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][dfd_single_image image=”17652″][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=”20″ screen_normal_resolution=”1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=”800″ screen_mobile_resolution=”480″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Karpathos is suitable for bird tourism as it is the last destination of migratory birds before they fly to Africa.
