Εθνικό Πάρκο Δάσους Δαδιάς - Λευκίμης - Σουφλίου - Εθνικό Πάρκο Δάσους Δαδιάς - Λευκίμης - Σουφλίου

A beautiful place to relax in a very dense forest in North Greece. Also hunting is permitted.

Very interesting to see the work done here, but you need a lot of patience in order to actually see the big birds. We saw a couple of them flying over the area. The organisation that oversees the park needs better funding.

A really tranquil place. Riding through and walking around were very relaxing. The chirping of the birds and the air you breath soothes you:) if you like trekking you should try the 3km walk to the observation area. Also they have nice little coffee stop just at the start of the trek.

Hotel would be better if the fan in the Ac unit did not make a racket.One has to turn it off to sleep.Avoid it till HVAC is replaced.

I visited this Dadia - Lefkimis - Soufliou Forest National Park when I went with my one time French-German foreign exchange daughter (she lived with us for a year as a senior in our local high school) from Germany with her Greek-German husband about 20 years ago. His parents and uncles live in the nearby village of Dadia. His Greek grandmother told us about an era when Dadia was part of the "Silk Road." She and other women carried silk worm cocoons next to their bodies so that they would keep warm. We had been advised to drink only bottled water in Greece. My foreign exchange daughter told us in the National Park we could drink safely from the water piped up from underground springs. She said the spring water was used to fill Greek water bottles sold as spring water. All but one nervous-Nellie of our party did so with zero ill effects. For tourists who travel from Athens to Thessaloniki and the 3 peninsulas, it is worth continuing north and east to the village of Dadia near the border with Turkey. (My "foreign exchange son in law" liked to, jokingly, refer to the strip of land on the Turkey side of the border as "occupied territory.)

Not to be missed! Great place for a visit!

The place was beautiful. Completely abandoned with no information or services. A good example what happens when a funded project finishes. After 1 hour walk we found the observatory closed. What a pity.

IT IS AN EXCELLENT TRIP SINCE YOU START GOING THROUGH THE TWO ARTIFICIAL LAKES CREATED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TWO OF THE BIGGEST GREEK HYDROELECTRIC DAMPS, OPERATED BY THE GREEK PPC(ΔΕΗ), AND THEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH ONE OF THE LARGEST GREEK FORESTS. IF YOU HAVE A 4*4 CAR AND ASK BEFORE THE FORESTRY AUTHORITY YOU CAN COMBINE THE START NESTOS RIVER SPRINGS, TOGETHER WITH THE DADIA FOREST AND THE FOREST OF ELATIAS. IT IS WORTH TRYING TO COMBINE BECAUSE YOU SAVE A LOT OF DRIVING TIME AND YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE UNIQUE FORRESTS AND SCENERY
