The fabulous Drakolimni lake is located in an
altitude of 2.050 metres, between the tops
Lapatos and Ploskos,in western Greece. It
was named after a dragon, a mythical creature,
which was said to live in its waters and was in
permanent conflict with the dragon living in
Smolikas Mount.
Many years ago, it was believed that the this alpine lake
was very deep , the waters of which poured
into Aoos. Later expeditions proved that its
depth does not exceed 5m.
In its waters
lives an amphibian,the Alpine Tritonas (tritus
alpestris) .It is considered a rare species and is
