Doirani Lake in Macedonia


I love the natural tourismWell, actually I love all kinds of tourism. Being able to discover a lot of cities, towns and places seems fantastic to me, although unfortunately it is impossible to always visit everything we want unless we get a good lottery and we only dedicate ourselves to traveling. I also like to see a travel channel I have on TV to bring you fantastic destinations, and this one I bring today is one of my latest discoveries.

Its about doirani lake, which is in Kilkis, a small town in the north of Macedonia that offers all its visitors a lot of natural options to walk and enjoy spectacular landscapes. It is very similar to the Greek islands and in fact it is very close to Thessaloniki, which you can reach in a short time either by sea or by land. This lake is one of the most important natural beauties in the country and attracts many tourists every year from all over the world.

Its main characteristic is that its water is salty as it communicates with the sea, although if for some reason it stopped receiving sea water it is also connected to several underground rivers, so it is a true wonder that you will be able to see in very few places. You can spend a few hours on the shores of the lake just to enjoy the views or you can visit nearby places such as the Krousión and Paico mountains, visit the spectacular Skra natural waterfalls or visit the Great Cave of Kilkis.

In the vicinity of Lake Doirani there are also the Evropo sites, the ruins of the Palió Ginekokastro castle, Skra Castle or Koljida Castle, all of them very important in the history of the country and in which there are tombs from the 4th century and some remains of what was its population during the 6th century, which makes them fantastic places to discover a little bit of the history of this civilization.
