The Kalochori Lagoon Nature Preserve is a coastal wetland area located 8 km west of Thessaloniki. It’s part of the larger Axios Delta National Park. The lagoon/wetlands area is a popular bird-watching spot and also a great area for some walking and running, with many km of trails. The trails are mainly on wide, flat gravel roads, with good footing. Note: open and exposed — not a lot of shade.
This website has a map with suggested routes and brochures that can be downloaded. It’s a large area with many sections possible for running. Some of the most scenic areas are off Κερκύρας, where there’s a path that runs between the lagoon and the gulf, then across the water to the Southwest Edge View Point. Lovely views here. There are also paths along the Axios River, and further southwest, paths along the narrow Loudias River.
