The Orikum Lagoon is located on the coast of the Gulf of Vlora, near the town of Orikum, and is included in the managed protection area of Karaburun. The area is considered a Important Bird Area (IBA), thanks to the large presence of migratory birds such as black-tailed godwits, great egrets and grey herons. The area carries a rich biodiversity: eels, snails and molluscs such as venerupis pullastra are common. Migratory birds use the lagoon for food and shelter during the spring-winter migration seasons. Some of the activities that visitors can do during their visit are:
Bird watching with binoculars, especially in spring and autumn when migration is at its peak
Walk and photos along the coast, where you can experience the feeling of a natural oasis near the mountains and the sea
Historic visit: near the lagoon are the ruins of the ancient city of Orikum, one of the most important centers in antiquity
