Lake Kerkini boat tour and 4x4 off-road excursion

Tucked up near the mountainous Bulgarian border lies Lake Kerikini – a vast area of marshland that's a haven for rare plants, birds and wildlife. Going where coaches can't, you'll travel by both boat and off-road vehicle to explore all the hidden corners of Greece's premier national park.

Båttur i Halkadiki med besök i Neos Marmaras, bad och lunch

Ta det lugnt och njut av en dag där du kan fly undan folkmassorna och uppleva lite avslappnad lyx medan du kryssar längs den västra kusten av Halkidikis halvö Sithonia. Helene, en lokal guide, säger: "Den här turen tar oss till några av mina favoritplatser. Spathies Beach har avskilda vikar utan den vanliga resorthastigheten, medan Neos Marmaras erbjuder en balans mellan mysiga tavernor och traditionell grekisk charm med moderna barer och faciliteter."Du åker till Nikiti Port där båten väntar. Härifrån seglar du längs Toroneosbuktens kust innan du kastar ankar vid Spathies Beach för din första badstopp. Helene tillägger: ”Se till att ta med snorkel och mask för att få ut det mesta av denna populära plats för papegojfiskar och damselfiskar – du kanske också hittar en bläckfisk som gömmer sig i de klippiga reven.” Sedan är det tillbaka ombord för lunch medan du seglar mot byn Neos Marmaras.Du har ledig tid att strosa runt i byn, där du kan köpa souvenirer eller prata med de vänliga lokalbefolkningen – det är det bästa sättet att ta in kulturen. Sedan återvänder du till havet och seglar till ön Kelyfos, som kärleksfullt kallas Sköldpaddsön. Klipporna på denna lilla ö bildar några märkliga grottformationer vid kanten som bara väntar på att utforskas. Ta ett dopp från båten och simma runt denna obebodda ö. Om du hellre vill sola på däck med musik och en kall dryck i handen är det också upp till dig. Oavsett vad du föredrar kommer du att vilja njuta av kustvyerna när du seglar tillbaka till hamnen efter en dag av avkoppling.
