♿️Accessibility is a major highlight: there’s a special lift for wheelchair users to enter the water safely, plus another lift system that helps people with mobility issues access the showers, toilets, and changing rooms. It’s one of the most inclusive and thoughtfully designed places I’ve seen.

💧The lake water is warm, clear, and mineral-rich, with small fish that give a natural exfoliation if you stay still. A unique experience!
Highly recommend if you’re staying anywhere near the coast or even coming from central Athens — it’s absolutely...
Read moreLake as a nature area is beautiful and worth to see. But I have to warn you about area crew and service people. I think those people have to follow some absurd rules and they are making such scandalous problems to visitors. For me it’s the worst behavior towards tourists and clients that I saw in all Greece.
I think that area personnel is focused too much on walkie talkie conversations between themselves instead of simple using of their brains. They ask people to move their sunbeds from shadow into middle of the sun at noon because 1 meter of path between sunbeds it’s not enough… The limit of sunbeds around the lake is very poor and not all of them got their own umbrella so you have to burn on the sun only because some lady want to feel necessary. Sometime another personnel person is coming and asking you to move from the sun to the shadow just to make some other space bigger. Complete abused! And I have to add that you’re paying 18€ per person to enter this space…
We spent a great time here but behavior of those people is driving me crazy. I have to add that this behavior have nothing in common with COVID restrictions or creating a path space for people with disabilities - ON THE CONTRARY. They just want to have sunbeds in their perfect order and health or comfort of clients is less important than this.
I hope that some responsible person will read that and will change something with it...
Read moreVisited the lake around 11:30 on a September Monday and found it bustling. Managed to secure a shady spot, but it did feel a bit crowded. Consider upgrading for more privacy if it's a concern.
The "no outside food" rule feels a bit overbearing. Especially considering dietary needs, like our son's gluten-free diet. I understand supporting local eateries, but I'd like the option to bring my own food.
Now, for the unique experience: the fish! If you stay still in the water, they'll nibble away dead skin. Strange at first, but it quickly becomes a relaxing sensation, almost like a natural spa treatment. The water might catch you off guard with its initial coolness, but after diving in, it's invigorating. The lake itself is a sight to behold, deepening as you approach the cliffs.
Facilities like toilets and showers are available and well-maintained. Transportation-wise, we took an Uber from the U.S. embassy area for €28 our way there. On way back we took buses to Acropolis area and then taxi from Uber.
In summary: The lake is a hidden gem, facilities are clean and up-to-date. However, I'd appreciate more flexibility with the food policy and increased spacing between seating...
