Trip Details

Join Alison for a four-night photography holiday at Lake Kerkini, Greece (9th–13th January 2026), focusing on capturing the majestic Dalmatian Pelicans in their winter habitat. This trip is perfect for photographers of all levels, with expert guidance from Alison (NaturesLens) to help refine your skills.

The itinerary includes morning and afternoon boat trips, specially arranged for wildlife photographers. Morning sessions offer soft lighting for stunning shots of pelicans gliding across the lake, while afternoon trips near Pelican Island provide golden-hour opportunities. Experienced local guides and Alison will share insights on pelican behavior and photography techniques.

A highlight is the shoreline feeding spectacle, where pelicans gather in large numbers, allowing for close-up, dynamic shots. Lake Kerkini is one of Europe’s most important wetlands, home to rich birdlife, including flamingos and other species.

Since 2014, NaturesLens has worked with the same expert boatman, ensuring optimal positioning for photography. The Dalmatian Pelican, the world’s largest and heaviest flying bird (wingspan up to 4m), presents a breathtaking subject against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains.

This trip balances wildlife photography, skill development, and unforgettable encounters with one of nature’s most impressive birds. Limited spots available—book now for an exceptional winter photography experience!
