Next, you’ll arrive at the breathtaking Green Canyon, where a lakeside restaurant awaits. Enjoy a delicious lunch with options including grilled fish, chicken, or meatballs, served with rice, pasta, salad, and fruit. After lunch, enjoy 1.5 hours of free time at the lake with activities like swimming, kayaking, or fishing—all equipment provided free of charge.
