The Top 10 Lakes in Περιφερειακή Ενότητα Ηρακλείου

Beautiful lake with gastronomy.

Unfortunately, the gates at the dam are both closed, so you have to go back completely 🙈

Very large reservoir, many species of birds have settled, there is a flooded little village with a chapel which is up to the upper 1/3 in the water. But ! … read more

Very nice, deep blue reservoir. Unfortunately fenced and not accessible. From the street you still have a nice view.

The lake has an impressive blue color. Also around the lake, the area is very pretty. For tourists in Amoudara a walk here is certainly a nice change to the beach and souvenir shops.

In addition to the view of the Aposelemis reservoir, you can also see a chapel with a spacious space on the bottom left.

An artificial lake serves as a water supply. Swimming is not possible. However, there is a circular path and lovely places to relax. You can also observe numerous water birds.

In contrast to the large artificial lake, this one is of natural origin. In May 2024 it dried up, a result of the dry winter. In September 2022 there was water in it and a sea eagle lived there.

A very rare place for Crete – a small mountain lake with large fish.A good tavern for a rest is, of course, part of it 😉

There is a small roadside stop here to enjoy the view of the Aposelemis reservoir and the sunken village.
