The area around Lake Kerkini is appropriate for different alternative activities. That is, in fact, the best way to familiarize and interact with the environment of the lake. Around our village, grow several forms of alternative tourism, which organize several actions and activities.
Then see the opportunities available and contact us for details. Of course, when you come in our hotel you will receive all information about all the alternatives in the region.
Boating.
Every day travelers’ small boats starting from the port take you around the lake and give you a tour from the dam up to the riverine forest.

Horseback riding.
You can take a horse ride along the lake or to mount krousia. We offer various programs for both beginners and experienced riders.
Cycling.
It's the best way to discover the lakeside environment yourself. In our hotel you will find bicycles (mountain bike) and recommendations for routes. Ideal path is along the eastern embankment, onto a dirt road from our village to the estuary. If you have the stamina and fitness, you can ride around the lake (60km).
Hiking.
We do not offer organized hiking programs with guide. Coming, however, to our hotel, we suggest multiple paths (easy or demanding), both along the lake and surrounding mountains. We suggest the following indicative hiking paths:
Route 1 1 - Easy - 7 km. - Starting from the Hotel Limneo, go to the nearby Buffalo Farm where Trifos gives us a tour and return to the village, passing through the livestock farm and the old bed of Strimonas River.
Route 2 - Easy - 13 km. - You start from our guesthouse, arrive at the eastern embankment and continue north along the embankment until the lakeside forest. During the route you can visit the buffalo Farm of Trifos, see the remnants of the village of Angelopoulos and explore the forest. If you do not want to return from the same route, you can follow the road to Limnochori and then to Hrysochorafa, passing through fertile farmland.
Route 3 - Medium - 9 km. - Leave the car at the port (Lithotopos). You start the route from the point of the pines across the harbor towards the mountain and continue to the rural road to the top of the mountain Krousia, up to the point at which the transponders of television are, where the view of the lake and the plain of Serres is panoramic.
Route 4- Hard - Go by car up to the village Poroia, where is the international walking path E4 is. Continue east on the path which crosses the massif of Mount Belles.
Fishing.
It is an activity that our guesthouse organizes and conducts. We provide all equipment (traditional fishing rods and bait) and go fishing on the east side or the port. One could go on a fishing boat (Plava), but in this case the procedure is more complicated and a special fishing permit is required. Keep in mind that fishing in the lake is prohibited for almost 40 days during the fish reproduction period, on May and June each year. The fish we will catch will be butterflies, roach, whitefish, Pumpkinseed, if we are lucky carp.
Canoe / Kayak.
On the side of the lake where Kerkini village is, organized and safe tours and rides Canoe Kayak start.
Bird observation.
It's an experience you can not live in many parts of Greece. For this reason, deserves to spend a few hours to observe the birds around the lake. The best places with the greatest variety of birds, is the eastern bank of the lake forest and the estuary of Strimonas River. In September and October, months when the birds migrate, is an ideal time to observe herons, pelican, cormorants, spoonbills, glossy ibis, Lagos, Geese. If you do not have the equipment (binoculars or a telescope), we can bring you into contact with a unit that organizes educational activities for groups.
