  • Kerkini Lake, Kerkini, Greece
    The distance is 98km and lasts approximately 1½ hour. We reach the dam of the picturesque Kerkini Lake in the area of Lithotopos. Each season of the year the lake hosts different species of birds, therefore every visit hides a different surprise for the traveler. The beautiful flamingos though, can be found there all year round and their characteristic pink plumage colors the blue surface of the lake giving enchanting views combined with the verdant surrounding landscape. The horse riding area is located next to the dam where we can enjoy a ride and feel part of this wonderful natural scenery (optional and upon notification). Later on, we have a coffee break and then continue our trip to the east part of the lake, visiting a traditional farm with impressive buffalos that walk next to us; observing their movements in their natural environment and learning their unique history.

+ the guide was very helpfull and polite - binoculars were not available which should be a must during a tour for bird watching. - tones of carbage around and in the lake .The villages around the lake should take care of this since in order to have an income from tourism you should try at least to collect carbage as often as possible.

Bird watching was fantastic, especially the flamingoes. Our driver was very professional. The mountain and farm scenery was also nice.
