Tigaki Salt Lake

Highlight • Lake

Αλυκή Τιγκάκι Alykí Tigáki = Alykes means salt field

The operation of the saltworks on Kos ceased in 1989.
Salt water lake still has an artificial water supply (canals) directly from the sea. The lake has a length of around 1500 m and a maximum width of around 700 m and an area of around 80 hectares (0.8 km²) with a circumference of around 3700 m. Fresh water is fed into the lake from the south of the Linopotis village.
The area around the lake and the lake itself are under nature protection and the wetland is now permanent. The salt water lake has become a protected, heavily salty wetland and a wintering area for migratory birds. Due to the high salt content, common fish and mollusks cannot live here. However, there are species that could adapt to such conditions (halophiles). This also includes the Artemia salina (brine shrimp), which attracts flamingos, as well as halophytic plants.
