A historical, folkloric and industrial monument as well as a magnificent wetland, the saltmarsh of Lefkimmi (Alykes in Greek), where the salt harvesting was taking place from the 13th century until 1988. Today one can see the ditches and corridors that were created, but also the salt depots along with some wagons that existed to transport the salt. This area also houses the Environmental Education Center of the former Municipality of Lefkimmi.
The best time to visit is in the spring when you can spot large colonies of flamingos.
