Listed 2 sub titles with search on: Athletics & Sports for destination: "PELLA Prefecture MAKEDONIA CENTRAL".
In a place, which is well known for the affluence of superficial water
resources, water-sports win progressively more and more fans.
Until the end of the last decade, only the Yachting Clubs of Edessa
and Giannitsa made advantage
of the potential that the region offered, by training their athletes in Lake
Vegoritis and in the River Loudias.
Nowadays, new tourist products are offered, among which the descents
on kayak-rafting in the River Moglenitsas and boating in Lakes Vegoritis
and Agra-Nisiou-Vritton stand
out, which provide the potential of a closer contact with the nature for the visitor.
In addition, during the last years, a modern Rowing Center by the
River Loudias was created to cover the needs for sports, and also recreation,
and to become a new tourist pole.

The presence of the imposing massif of Voras
(2,524m), Pinovo (2,145m), Tzena
(2,182m), Paiko (1,650m)
and Vermion (2,027m) creates
the ideal conditions for climbing and mountain hiking in the Prefecture of Pella.
The possibility of approaching inaccessible areas, usually undisturbed
by human intervention, the changing landscape and the variable level of difficulty
of the available paths constitutes a challenge for a lot of people.
The European Path E4/6, which starts from the Pyrennes and connects,
through a network of mountain paths, the European Countries of the Mediterranean
Sea, traverses Voras. The
crossing of the Ramno-Bor (Isso Pefko) gorge in the area of Loutra
Lourtakiou constitutes one of the most exciting mountain experiences, since
it leads to the springs of Agios Nikolaos current, where water and vegetation
compose a beautiful scenery.
Acknowledging the particularity and the potentials of the region,
many mountain associations form all over Greece,
organize "rambles" during the last years to the mountainous region of
Pella.
