Birding and Wildlife photography at Limneo Lodge, Kerkini Lake, Greece

10,000 Birds

In 2008, with my family decided to build the Limneo Lodge , a small accommodation with only 9 rooms. Also Dalmatian and Great White Pelicans are resident species, breeding successfully on artificial platforms (close to 300 pairs). My name is Nikos Gallios. Greater Flamingos stay at the lake in their thousands.
