Lake Mornos, Artificial reservoir in Dorida Municipality, Greece.
Lake Mornos spans 15.5 square kilometers between Giona and Vardousia mountains, featuring numerous fjords and an X-shaped outline at 446 meters above sea level.
The construction of Lake Mornos occurred between 1972 and 1979, requiring the evacuation of Kallio village, which now remains submerged beneath the water.
The lake's surrounding ecosystem includes traditional Greek mountain vegetation of maples, plantains, willows, and clusters of Kefalonia spruce.
Through a 192-kilometer aqueduct system with 15 tunnels, Lake Mornos supplies water to Athens, serving approximately 3.1 million residents.
During periods of drought, the water level decreases enough to reveal the remnants of Kallio village, including a stone bridge at the narrow point called Steno.
