Oroklini Lake is a must-see wildlife site in the Larnaca district. This fantastic nature patch is literally in the heart of Voroklini community and, despite its small size, is home to rich wildlife.
For the preservation of its great biodiversity hot-spot the wetland is protected under European law, thus it is designated a Natura 2000 site. Here, two threatened bird species come to nest in significant numbers, the Black-winged Stilt (Oroklini Lake is the best nesting site in Cyprus for this species) and the Spur-winged Lapwing (this species nest only in Greece and Cyprus within the EU). Moreover, Oroklini Lake is the only site in Cyprus where the beautiful Red-crested Pochard nests. In total, an impressive 190 bird species have been recorded at Oroklini Lake!
Taking the old Larnaca – Dekeleia road, the beautiful village of Voroklini can be seen deep in the left side. On the right side you find yourself facing the beach of Voroklini.
