Korission Lagoon, Protected coastal lagoon in Corfu, Greece.
Korission Lagoon spans 427 hectares along the southwest coast of Corfu, separated from the Ionian Sea by the sandy Chalikouna Beach.
The formation of Korission Lagoon dates back between 140,000 and 250,000 years ago when sand dunes isolated the water basin from the sea.
The lagoon maintains traditional fishing practices, with local boats departing regularly from its shores to sustain regional fishing methods.
Visitors can access the lagoon by car, located 17 kilometers from main accommodations, with designated paths for walking and nature observation.
The protected area houses 126 bird species, 14 orchid varieties, and a cedar forest alongside sand dunes reaching heights of 15 meters.
