Boat trip on Lake Kerkini: what to expect

A boat trip on Lake Kerkini is the best way to get to know the lake. From the water you see pelicans, herons and the flooded forest up close, with Mount Beles in the background.

Which boat trip to choose

  • Sightseeing boat trip (1 hour): a relaxed introduction to the lake.
  • Wildlife photography boat trip (up to 3 hours): at sunrise or sunset, for the best light.
  • Birdwatching (3 to 4 hours): all year round, for those who want to see as many species as possible.

What to bring

  • Binoculars and a camera
  • A hat and sunscreen in summer, warm clothes in winter
  • Water, especially for the longer trips

Best time of day

Early morning and late afternoon bring the most beautiful light and the most active birds. In winter, pelicans gather in large numbers.
