The herons and pelicans, who know the Treaty of Ramsar, fly endlessly over the salt-pans of Angelochori, above the white colour of the salt. This tranquil area is a distant suburb of Thessaloniki, on the outer side of Thermaikos Bay, more like a village. During the bird migration period, the area becomes home to the birds and the sky is a pure delight to see. But beyond their small flights, the austerity of the landscape, the all-red waters because of high salinity and the fish restaurants on the edge of the village, all give the place the feel of a journey even if it’s a stone’s throw from the city.
