Volos – Lake Plastira

Lake Plastiras is an artificial lake that spreads on the plateau of Nevropolis in the prefecture of Karditsa. The Greek general and politician Nikolaos Plastiras was the first to visualize the construction of an artificial lake in the area. His vision was to solve the problem of irrigation of the plain of Thessaly and produce electricity by exploiting the power of water. But Lake Plastiras evolved into something more than that. For the next generations, Lake Plastiras has been an immensely beautiful attraction with its impressive vegetation of fir trees, beeches and chestnut trees of Agrafa. Its cool crystal waters and the wonderful lakeshores created through the years complete the seductive landscape, that you will enjoy by hiking around the lake.

Why visit Lake Plastiras:

• For extreme sports, such as paragliding and hang-gliding.
• For mountain sports, cycling, horse riding and skiing in the small ski center of Karamanoli.
• For canoeing and water biking.
• To cross the ravine of Mega Rema.
• To enjoy fresh trout from the lake, the famous sweet “retseli” and wild boar.
