What to expect during the 5-Day Kerini Lake Photo Tour
This is a Private multi-day photography small group tour. We will guide you through Kerkini Lake as we capture the fall and winter natural landscape, scenery and the Dalmatian Pelicans of the lake, as well as other species. A few of these are private boat trips to photograph the pelicans from the water, including portraits of the birds, wide angles, and capturing them in flight. We will drive around the lake, exploring and capturing other wildlife from the shoreline of the wetland. Of course, the editing and post-processing of our photos are on the list!
While we focus on colorful seasonal landscape and photography on this tour, the local food of Greece will also be a focal point and we will taste local foods and wines each day!
Day 1 | Thessaloniki to Kerkini
On the first day we will pick you up from the airport in Thessaloniki in Northern Greece where we will transfer to our hotel just a short distance from the shore of Lake Kerkini. Depending on the time of your arrival, there will be the option of exploring the area and photographing at sunset. We will have a traditional Greek dinner.
Day 2 - 4 | Kerkini
During days 2 thru 4 we will have a series of photo sessions to capture images of the Dalmatian Pelicans as well as other wildlife that we will encounter on Lake Kerkini. We usually start each day at dawn-sunrise and continue with taking advantage of the morning light on a boat trip on the lake to photograph the beautiful pelicans from the water. These boat trips will offer various photographic opportunities, such as wide angles, portraits and immortalizing pelicans in flight. Since our tour is private, we can be flexible, so we will make the most of the different lighting conditions and views we come across. On the third or fourth day, depending on the forecast, we will visit and photograph the traditional villages of the area, visit one of the largest buffalo farms and taste original products made by the buffalos of Kerkini Lake. Every afternoon you will learn the basics of post processing your frames and finish the day with traditional Greek meal.
Day 5 | Kerkin - Thessaloniki
On the last day of your trip, we will try take a more relaxing pace, enjoying breakfast and then drive to Thessaloniki airport. If time allows, depending on your time of departure, we could have the option of stopping at the lake of Doirani to shoot more or fly the drone to the shoreline of the Lake.
