Thessaloniki birding: Kerkini Lake
Lake Kerkini is located in the northeast of the district of Serres, at just 40km distance from the town of Serres and 100km from the city of Thessaloniki. The lake surrounded by mountains Belles and Mavrovouni, at close proximity with the Greek-Bulgarian borders. Kerkini Lake is now a wetland of great environmental significance because of man’s technical intervention on the natural characteristics of Strymon River.
Human intervention at the environment usually retracts or takes negative action against the natural processes but Kerkini Lake is a rare paradigm, where logical human handling had the exact opposite result. It is one of the most important wetlands in Europe and considered one of the top European bird watching destinations.
Kerkini Lake region has so much to offer during autumn, winter and spring, as it is an outdoor, adventure and tranquility lovers’ paradise. It is a complete revelation throughout the year. Incredible scenery, mountains and forests, wild landscape, various trees, food, wine, the lake and the amazing winter colors reveal the real soul of the region. SKG BUS transfers & tours also provides full day tour to Lake Kerkini for up to 12 birders. English speaking professional driver and Google level 7 local guide provided as well as refreshments and water. Hotel pickups and drop offs from Thessaloniki area, Thessaloniki Port and SKG Airport.
