It is located about 20 kilometers from Metsovo, in a mountainous area directly connected to Pindos, Valia Calda, and the wider natural complex of northern Epirus. Although it is an artificial lake, the landscape around it is in perfect harmony with the natural environment, creating a unity of exceptional aesthetic value, with forests, open spaces, small islands, and views that change with the seasons.
For visitors to Metsovo, the lake is an ideal nature excursion, offering a quieter and more open experience compared to the dense character of the traditional settlement.
