- Kerkini Lake - This is the highlight of the day. Visitors meet the local boatmen and embark on a small boat that gently glides through open waters and reed-lined shores. The journey is leisurely and perfect for photography, offering a great opportunity to observe birds up close and experience the “serene nature” ambiance without the need for hiking or exertion. It’s also the ideal way to appreciate the lake’s vastness and its significance to the entire region. Guests may also sample buffalo milk products, a Kerkini specialty, often available as sweets or dairy treats, depending on the day’s offerings.
- Serres Region - The drive itself is an integral part of the adventure: passing through farmland, vineyards, olive groves, and expansive views framed by two prominent mountain ranges. Lailias offers a forested, inland perspective, while Belles/Belasitsa appears larger and more untamed as one approaches the lake area. It’s a pristine “northern Greece” landscape that many miss if they only visit cities and beaches. Opting for the optional winery tour includes a guided visit to the Serres rural area, featuring a simple walkthrough of the facilities and a wine tasting, providing a low-effort, high-reward conclusion before returning.
