Nikos took us for a 2 hour bird-watching tour, organised on short notice, and it was wonderful. Nikos is very knowledgable and passionate about the lake, the amazing pelicans, and all the other birds, including the sparrows that were nesting on the boat itself. It was a beautiful experience for us, we hope to come back.
