An easy, but very enjoyable canoe trip at the river Penios. During the 3-hour trip we will have the opportunity to explore the flora and fauna of the wetland. Cormorants and egrets are typical water birds in the area. Your safety is guaranteed by life jackets and the presence of a trained guide. The trip takes about 4 hours and ends at the mouth of the river in the Aegean Sea, where we can practice archery on the mile-long beach. Finally, we are going to enjoy a delicious seafood barbecue and the "Kakavia" a typical Greek fish soup!
