On the occasion of World Wetlands Day, the Municipality of Edessa turns its attention to one of the most important and unique natural areas in the region, the Agra-Nisi-Vrytta Wetlands. A place of high ecological value, where water, flora, and fauna coexist in a delicate balance, offering visitors an authentic experience of contact with nature.

The wetland is a refuge and stopover for many species of birds, but also an ideal place for environmental observation and gentle ecological tours. Its natural beauty and tranquil landscape make it a destination that combines recreation with knowledge and environmental awareness.

With the Edessa City Card, visitors have the opportunity to explore the wetland and its natural wealth in an organized manner, visit the Bird Exhibition, participate in an interactive eco-tour, and enjoy the experience of bird watching with binoculars, discovering the uniqueness of the area’s ecosystem.

The presence of swans, which live permanently in the area and have given it the unofficial but beloved name “Swan Lake,” occupies a special place in the Agra Nisi Vrytta Wetlands. The image of them moving calmly on the waters of the lake is one of the most characteristic and recognizable features of the wetland, reinforcing its unique identity.

World Wetlands Day reminds us of the importance of protecting and promoting these valuable ecosystems. The Agra Nisi Vrytta Wetlands is a natural treasure that deserves to be known, respected, and preserved for future generations.
