A rich natural environment!

As most of Attica's wetlands have shrunk or disappeared over the past years, the Park's ponds attract those birds that need water (aquatic, wading, shorebirds, birds of reed beds, etc). This is actually the largest water concentration in the Attica basin (particularly after the obliteration of the Faleron Delta area formed by the Ilissos and Kifissos rivers).
Important also for the presence of birds is the variety of vegetation: pine trees and other coniferous, deciduous trees, arable crops (vines, pistachio, olive trees), reed beds and open grasslands that allow various species, each with particular preferences, to reside. Shrubs rich with winter berries (firethorns, ivy) are much appreciated by the birds that feed on them during the harsh months.
