The brackish Kotychi lagoon is the largest lagoon in the Peloponnese. Fed by fresh-water streams, its level fluctuates significantly and is a very important resting point for migrating birds. It is separated from the Ionian Sea on the west side by a narrow 5 kilometer long sand strip.

The Kotychi Lagoon (Greek: Λιμνοθάλασσα Κοτύχι) is the largest lagoon system in the Peloponnese. It is a central component of the Kotychi-Strofylia Wetlands National Park.
The lagoon covers approximately 750 hectares and is separated from the Ionian Sea by a roughly 5 km long sandbar. Its average depth is only between 0.4 and 1.0 meters.
As a typical Mediterranean lagoon, it is an important area for the wintering, breeding, and migration of waterfowl, including rare species such as the ferruginous duck.
The lagoon serves as a natural fishery (vivarium) where traditional fishing methods are practiced.
