Lake Tsivlou
Λίμνη Τσιβλού
A mountain lake formed in 1913, when a landslide dammed the valley. It is surrounded by fir trees and has emerald water, with paths and cafés along the shore.
Lake Tsivlou lies on the northern slope of Mount Chelmos at about 750 meters. In 1913, a large landslide blocked the Krathis valley and flooded the original village, forming this roughly 1-kilometer-long landslide lake. The water is emerald green, and fir forests surround it. Along the shore there are walking paths, a small chapel and cafés. The best seasons to visit are spring and autumn. It is about 25 kilometers from Kalavryta, roughly 40 minutes' drive on mountain roads, and it can be combined with Zachlorou and the coastal town of Akrata.
