Lake Vouliagmeni

Lake Vouliagmeni, in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, is the hidden treasure of Attica’s nature. Situated on an idyllic landscape, this rare geological phenomenon is waiting to be discovered.

The lake’s present form was created after the roof of the cave fell because of erosion caused by the high temperature of the running water running.
