Kremasta lake, Artificial reservoir in Central Greece
Kremasta lake is an artificial reservoir in Central Greece that covers a large water surface and forms several bays and small islands. Four rivers meet at this location, while two bridges cross the waters and connect different municipalities.
The Kremasta Dam was completed in 1965 and created Greece's largest artificial lake. The structure was built by concentrating waters from four rivers in a region that held economic and energy importance.
The villages surrounding the lake preserve traditional Greek mountain architecture and regional customs that appear in local festivals and the way people prepare food.
The lake offers fishing and water sports opportunities that are accessible from several access points along the shore. The two bridges allow easy crossings and let visitors explore different areas of the lake from the land.
The power facility at the lake uses advanced turbine technology to generate electricity and ranks among the country's most important energy installations. This method of power generation makes the lake an essential part of Greece's energy infrastructure.
