Beautiful lake and surroundings

This peaceful and serene freshwater lake, surrounded by mountains and lush greenery, is popular for activities like swimming and picnicking. Rent a pedal boat or kayak, and bring snorkel masks to spot fish and turtles that inhabit the crystal-clear waters. Or plop yourself on one of the free sunbeds if you prefer to sit back and relax. Enjoy a relaxing stroll and enjoy a meal and the picturesque view at one of the many tavernas on the edge of the lake. The Talos Happy Train is a charming way to get to the Lake from Georgioupolis village. – Tripadvisor

    Worth a visit!
    My sister and I were there last week and it was beautiful! The lake looks even better than in the pictures, I would totally recommend a visit and will come back again when given a chance. There's a restaurant right near the water with reasonable prices (compared to other restaurants we visited on other beaches), and I am vegan and had no problem finding something to eat. There are beds available for free. It was very hot but there are some trees so you can still sit in the shadow. The water was too cold for my sister but you get used to it very fast and it's not cold once you are in. I swam all the way to where the color of the water changed and it is very deep - but had such a fun and relaxing experience. We’re both in our 20s but there were lots of families with kids there and some of the boats have a small water slide so it is kids friendly. The water is sweet & very clear & just gorgeous!! Worth a visit! (very instegramy as well)

    Great fairly quiet place away from the beaches.
    Even though it was peak season the lake side and taverns were not heaving. Plenty to do here, hired pedalos and paddle boards - 7 euros an hour for those and 10 for the pedalo. Best way to get to see the rare turtles on the other side of the lake.
