Porto Lagos – Chapel of Agia Paraskevi

Duration 3–4 hoursFrom €20

Porto Lagos lies on the border between the regional units of Xanthi and Rhodope, specifically at the point where Lake Vistonida meets the Thracian Sea, in a location that uniquely combines the green of the forest with the blue of the Greek sea.

Lake Vistonida, the 4th largest lake in Greece with a total area of approximately 45,000 stremmata, a maximum length of 12.5 km, a maximum width of 7 km and an average depth of 4 metres, is one of the largest wetlands in the world protected by the Ramsar Convention, with dozens of rare bird species that attract large numbers of visitors.

Meeting point in Porto Lagos.
