The lake, along with rivers, canals, swamps, flooded fields/cropland is rich in bird fauna and habitats more than 200 bird species with some of the rarest ones coming out during spring.

Lake Kerkini is the Best Destination for Bird Watching

Peaceful and inviting, the environment in Lake Kerkini allows the visitor to explore Greece from a different perspective.

The still waters are disturbed only when the buffalo swim or eco-tour groups go boating.

But no matter how interesting wildlife in this wetland is, the jaws drop when a flock of birds creates shapes of unparalleled beauty in the sky.

Greece is an important migratory crossroad of many endangered species and thus one of the best destinations for bird-watching. Surrounded by Mount Belles and only forty minutes away from the Agnatio Hotel Spa Serres, Lake Kerkini is the ultimate destination for Avitourism.
