    Ok for bear lovers that are ready to wait for hours to get the tour in busy hours, and ready to tolerate one toilet for each gender in unacceptable condition. Long walk for people who get tired easily and the elderly. Should get improvement.

    NO indication of where to park and how far is the center on foot! Difficult to visit on foot for older visitors and impossible forAMEA!!!

    Learn a few things about the bears and what "Arctouros" does to protect them.

    A very worthwhile bear refuge and sanctuary. Working to free bears still kept in captivity

    A sanctuary in a beautiful place in nature. People with knowledge and energy for what they are doing. We had a great school excursion!

    Not recommended for elderly or those who can't walk very long or on a cobblestone roadway up and down hills, it's at least a 3 km hike to get to see the bears for a literally 5 minutes

  • 5/5 Chloe H. 1 year ago on Google
    Short tour but excellent and well worth seeing

  • 4/5 Evi P. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely worth a visit ! Don’t expect too much but it’s very close to the village and you get some nice info on the refugee and the bears they host and see the bears up close. On the negative side, even though they said on the phone that they summarize the tour in English as well, they don’t. They just hand out a leaflet in English instead.

    Situated through the narrow streets of nymfaio, with little parking, a 5 minute walk down to a lovely gift shop, tours are available, very knowledgeable guided tours We saw 6 bears, good work being done Only 8 euros, including entry to wolf sanctuary only 15 minutes away by car

    A beautiful place where a very unique and useful organization is established

  • 5/5 Kostas G. 4 years ago on Google
    Must visit the area and help Arktouros to protect the wildlife and nature's sustainability! Price for bear sanctuary is 6 euros per adult and children above 12 years old, 4 euros per child between 3 and 12 years. Free entrance for childs until the age of 3.

    An amazing place run by amazing people. There is quite a walking distance between the car park and the site entrance, so you may need to bring a wheelchair if you are visiting with people with disabilities.

  • 5/5 Chris A. 4 years ago on Google
    These guys are doing an exceptional job, although i wish they didn’t need to do it because that would mean all the bears would be in nature

  • 5/5 George K. 2 years ago on Google
    An amazing place not only for nature lovers but for every person who wants to see, feel, smell and even taste the house of the bear 🐻. A shelter with informed and specialized staff ready to answer everything about this beautiful and sweet but at the same time wild animal. 🐻 🐻 🐻 Certainly worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Ria S. 2 years ago on Google
    Such an amazing experience. The forest is magical and ideal for the bears. People there are really doing a good job and protecting the wild animals and nature. All the rescued bears are from zoos others kept in captivity in homes and others have been injured. None of them can return back to the nature. However people make sure to have a really good life for the rest of their years.
