Kos Wildlife Walks: birdwatching and animal photography
Are you a fan of wildlife? Do you like to learn about the animals around you? Do you carry your camera or binoculars around?
After scouting the island for four years, biologist George has started his wildlife spotting and photography walks with an ethical approach in mind. His goal is to show you birds, snakes, lizards and mammals with as little disturbance as possible.
Depending on your preferences, we will meet in various locations of Kos Island to observe animals. Nature is unpredictable and there is also beauty to that. Every day is different, but we know what to expect from different locations.
