The coastal area of Polichnitos is one of the most important wetlands for birds in Greece. Over 130 species of birds have been recorded in Kalloni Bay, some of which live there permanently, while others migrate.

For biologists, ornithologists and bird watchers, the area is a living museum of natural history where they can observe and study existing bird species, their habits and behavior as well as various biological and environmental issues of the area.

The port of Polichnitou, Skala Polichnitou, is located at a distance of 4.2 kilometers in the bay of Kalloni where there is a large fishing shelter as well as many taverns offering fresh fish, seafood from the bay and traditional snacks. Near Polichnitos are Vatera and Nyfida beaches.
