Kremasta lake, Artificial reservoir in Central Greece

The lake encompasses 80.6 square kilometers of water surface, forming numerous fjords and small islands where four rivers converge near Karpenisi.

Construction of the Kremasta Dam concluded in 1965, creating Greece's largest artificial lake by concentrating waters from Acheloos, Agrafiotis, Tavropos, and Trikeriotis rivers.

The surrounding villages maintain traditional Greek mountain architecture and display regional customs through local festivals and food preparation methods.

Two bridges, Tatarna and Episkopi, span across the lake, connecting different municipalities while offering access points for fishing and water activities.

The hydroelectric facility at Kremasta generates 848 gigawatt-hours annually through four Francis turbines, making it Greece's largest hydroelectric power station.
