NATURAL PROTECTED AREA, BREATHTAKING FOR ITS ABUNDANCE AND BEAUTY Discover the Ropotamo River particularly famous for its tender water lilies. A boat trip down the river or a walk along its banks is an unforgettable experience. Tour boats sail down the lower section of the river. The nature here is breathtaking for its abundance of flora species, impressive rocky formations (such as the so-called Lion\\\\\\\'s Head rock standing out on the right-hand bank of the river), small caves, and water plants and animals. Ropotamo was declared a natural reserve already in 1940 - it is home to more than 100 species, to be found in the country\\\\\\\'s Red Book of endangered species. With its 1,000 ha of land, it is also among the country\\\\\\\'s protected areas.
