Lake Plastiras, Artificial lake in Nevropoli Agrafon, Greece

Lake Plastiras extends across 24 square kilometers at an altitude of 792 meters, reaching depths of 65 meters near its southern dam.

The lake emerged in 1959 through the construction of an 83-meter-high arch dam, following the vision of military leader Nikolaos Plastiras.

The lake and its surrounding villages maintain traditional Greek mountain life while supporting local fishing communities and agricultural practices.

Visitors can access the lake via a 60-kilometer perimeter road, with rental facilities for kayaks, canoes, and bicycles available in nearby villages.

The lake contains several small islands, including Niaga, which stands opposite the village of Moucha and creates distinct water passages.
