Unser Tour-Guide hatte praktisch keine Funktion. Auf der sehr langen Busfahrt herrschte quasi Stillschweigen, keinerlei Informationen über Land und Leute. ganz anders unser Fahrer auf der Jeep-Tour zu den Wasserbüffeln. Er hatte viel zu erzählen, sehr informativ und lustig. Die Boots-Tour zu Pelikanen und Flamingos war gut, die Beobachtung aber nur per Fernglas möglich. Das abschließende Mittagessen war hervorragend!

Too much travelling to and from nearly 3hrs each way. Not very friendly or informative driver. Felt very uneasy on transfer there as coach driver seems very tired and irritable and hardly ever had 2 hands on steering wheel. Constantly biting his nails, picking his nose and rubbing his head and eyes. Kept veering over road lanes and looked like he was constantly trying to keep himself from falling asleep. Made to feel very anxious and unsafe.

Nur 2 Pelikane aus der Nähe, Kormorane und Wasserbüffel gesehen ! Essen war gut. Reiseleiter war schlecht, wenig Informationen und nur in Englisch, obwohl die meisten Gäste deutschsprachig waren ! Den Ausflug würde ich nicht noch einmal machen !

Jezioro piekne. Przewodnik mówil o tysiacach gatunków ptaków na jeziorze a zobaczylismy raptem kilka. 4x4 nudne. Oprócz mulów i jednego orla nie bylo na co popatrzec. Bardzo dobry obiad i przewodnik.

Die Fahrt hat uns gut gefallen, nur schade dass nicht viel im Bus zu der Umgebung gesagt wurde. Die Fahrt auf dem See war sehr schön auch das Essen war gut.

Overall very nice experience. Good information from tour guide. During drive to Kerkini there were enough stops for wc and short break for coffee. At location also all prepared so everyone could enjoy the experience. On way back also all was good. Small note The touringcar bus nr 103 had Some difficulty with the airconditioning. Drive to Kerkini temperature was oké but unfortunately the way back the temperature was uncomfortably high. Maybe it is good to mention there is Wi-Fi and usb on bus

The boat trip 4by4 all good. The bus journey far too long. Would not have gone if I had known. 3.5 hours there and 3 hours back. Way too long. Meal afterwards very disappointing so portion control it was embarrassing to eat anything as we were with strangers at the table. Glass of wine came after the meal. A bit too late by then. Should have been served first.totally unnecvesary to be tight with chips and salad..

Disappointing- long trip from hotel which wasn't made clear. Jeep safari- have done these before & always loved them. This was disappointing - our driver didn't speak English, we were told we would stop at points & get info from other drivers- we stopped once & not really any info. More like a drive round a farmers field in tall bamboo- nothing to see! Boat trip -told to get on English speaking boat but driver spoke very little English & not many bird species to be seen. Nice scenery & lunch

Pros: Lake Kerkini is beautiful with the mountains behind it. The food at Taverna was delicious. Cons: The 4x4 was basically a drive along a rutted farmers track. The driver spoke no English. The boat ride was ok and we saw several birds tho again the driver of the boat spoke no English.
