Greece Lakes

Greece lakes are both gorgeous beauty-spots and precious ecosystems.

The largest lake in Greece is the enchanting “sea” of Trichonis in the mountains outside Agrinio, followed by lakes:

• Volvi near Thessaloniki
• Vegoritis near Florina
• Kerkini near Serres
• Kastoria in the town of Kastoria
• Pamvotis in Ioannina

Of course, we must not forget Lake Vouliagmeni near Athens with its sulphur springs, and Mesolongi Lagoon with its “pilades” (fishing huts set on piles in the shallow waters), a particularly beautiful scene forming one of the most important wetlands in the Mediterranean.
