Five days immersed in the extraordinary nature of the Northern Greece, among the calm waters of the Lake Kerkini and the breathtaking landscapes that surround it. A rich and varied ecosystem, made up of reed beds, bodies of water and wooded hills, which is home to one of the most incredible concentrations of birdlife in Europe.
In this protected environment, hundreds of species of birds find refuge. Among all of them, the undisputed protagonist is the curly pelican with its grandeur and unmistakable plumage. Alongside it, herons, cormorants, ibises, spoonbills and birds of prey populate these waters, offering continuous photographic opportunities at any time of the day.
On board small boats or from strategic positions along the banks, we will live intense days in search of the perfect shots. Join us to explore this natural paradise and live a truly unique photographic experience, between silences interrupted only by the beating of wings and golden lights that caress the lake at dawn.

A five-day experience on the shores of one of the most fascinating lakes in Greece, accompanied by the best local guides, in search of unique perspectives to photograph the exceptional birdlife of Lake Kerkini.
During the tour we will explore several selected locations for bird watching, with a special focus on pelicans. At this time of year, these extraordinary animals gather along the shores of the lake, providing breathtaking views and plays of light and shadow that make every shot special.
The pelican population of Kerkini is famous for its beauty and ease with which they can be spotted and photographed. Whether it’s close-ups of detail or wide-angle shots, the photographic opportunities will be numerous and varied.
Get ready to experience a photographic journey full of emotions, in a natural context that seems made especially for nature photographers.
We plan 6 photo sessions: 3 at dawn and 3 at dusk.
Pelican sightings are guaranteed, and we will take advantage of the best light hours to focus on taking the most suggestive shots.
We will have at our disposal photo sessions both on the boat and from land: boat trips will allow us to get much closer to the animals, offering the opportunity to also use wide-angle or short focal lenses, to portray pelicans in their natural habitat with engaging and impactful compositions. Land sessions, on the other hand, will give us the opportunity to obtain more dynamic shots and to work with longer focal lengths, better controlling distances and framing.
In addition to pelicans, Lake Kerkini is home to an amazing variety of birdlife: cormorants, spoonbills, kingfishers, herons, ibises and many other species that will make every day full of photographic and observation opportunities.
We will be staying in a small village surrounded by nature, in a welcoming family-run hotel in comfortable double rooms equipped with all necessary services. During this tour you will have all meals included that will take place directly in the hotel. The hotel is located just 20 minutes from the photographic point ensuring comfortable and fast travel every day. Among the services available: Wi-Fi connection, heating, private bathroom and towels. A simple and well-kept environment, ideal for relaxing after a day of photography immersed in nature.
