Kerkini buffalo meat
meet the Greek Water Buffalo...
a free heart...
A… free heart, the Greek water buffalo migrated to Greece thanks to Xerxes, who transported it along with his army’s supplies across the Strymon. It is an animal that is not confined but grazes freely on the shores of the lake.
In the centuries that have passed, it has saved the local populations from starvation with its meat and milk. Since 1950, Dutch cows have stolen the show and the water buffalo has been neglected. Its population is decreasing, its meat is undervalued. It took the great food scandals with dioxins and mad cows to rediscover the safety and purity of the despised buffalo meat.
The magnificent Lake Kerkini...
The Lake Kerkini...
Around its waters spreads an entire world, which was created and will continue to exist as long as it exists. The magnificent Lake Kerkini. People, animals, plants live together, support each other, depend on each other, complement each other. This is how nature is.
Located 45 km west of Serres and next to the village of Lithotopos, the lake attracts a large number of tourists and travelers every year who visit to admire the unique landscapes, rare species of animals, plants and birds in one of the most important wetlands in Greece and Europe, which is protected by the Ramsar Convention, Greek Legislation and the E.O.K. Directive 79/409.
