Directions
-
From Thessaloniki airport and Athens : Take the road to Serres, (after entering the prefecture of Serres at the first intersection (immediately after the mountains and before the bridge over Strymonas River) turn right towards Irakleia and Lake Kerkini. You enter the main road and go through the villages Zefgolateio, Himarros and reach Lithotopos. Go through Lithotopos and at the dam of the lake turn right at the street (above the dam) to Irakleia. 6km after this point turn left to Chrysochorafa. Feature of the last crossroad is the factory with bricks on your left hand.
-
By bus: Every day there are 3-4 connections from Thessaloniki to Heraclea and Sidirokastro departing from the central bus station Thessaloniki (desk of Serres Prefecture). From Serres there is regular bus service to Heraclea, especially until noon. If you arrive at Heraclea by bus, we will make sure to wait for us at the station. For exact time schedules contact the KTEL Serres.
- Access by train is good and maybe more interesting, because of cheap fares and many stops in the wetland. From whichever direction you come to, it is convenient to get off at Sidirokastro. From there you come to Chrysochorafa either by taxi or we arrange to pick you up, if we are able.
