Lake Plastiras, also known as “Little Switzerland”, is surrounded by an idyllic landscape of incomparable natural beauty that captivates the mind at first sight. Dreamlike in all aspects, it is one of the largest artificial lakes in Greece created in a location where in antiquity we could find the confluence of the rivers Tavropos and Achelous. It is a natural wonder that owes its existence to the inspired vision of General Nikolaos Plastiras. Lake Plastira located in the wider area of Agrafa, lives every season at its fullest, promising to offer you the holiday you dreamed of. Have the chance to enjoy the spectacular lake view with an air balloon flight.
Furthermore visit Meteora, one of the biggest and most important group of monasteries in Greece and possibly one of the most spectacular and awe inspiring sights of the country. Meteora is also a sight that combines perfectly religious, cultural and natural interest, visited by numerous people around the world.
