The person behind the experience
Discover Kerkini with Giannis Reklos
Varkada Kerkini is supported and operated by Giannis Reklos, owner of Oikoperiigitis, whose longstanding involvement in local ecotourism has contributed to showcasing the natural and cultural value of Lake Kerkini.
Oikoperiigitis began in 1995 with canoe trips and is today one of the oldest ecotourism operations in Macedonia; thousands of students and visitors have discovered the lake through its programmes.
Through his knowledge of the area, his connection to nature, and his respect for the lake's unique ecosystem, the aim is to offer visitors authentic experiences and a more meaningful connection with Kerkini.
