The Dadia - Lefkimi - Soufli National Forest Park is one of the most important protected areas at national, European and international level. This is one of the first protected areas in Greece, as many species of flora and fauna of the Balkan Peninsula, Europe and Asia coexist and thrive here. The landscape mosaic formed by pine and oak forests, which are interrupted by meadows, pastures and arable land, is the ideal environment for birds of prey. The National Park is home to three of the four vulture species in Europe (Black Vulture, Vulture and White Vulture), and is home to the only Black Vulture colony in the Balkans.
