<\/p>\nThere are times when you crave a short escape to nature combined with relaxation, scenery, activities (so you don't get bored) and of course...good food! Well, you will find all of this in abundance at Lake Plastira, an ideal four-season destination where you will spend a full weekend and be rejuvenated.<\/p>\n
Looking at the lake, our thoughts immediately go to what the area here might have been like before it was created! And how human intervention can \u201cregenerate\u201d a forgotten area at the foot of Agrafa.<\/p>\n
But let's start from the beginning. Popular tradition has it that the prominent military and politician Nikolaos Plastiras visited his birthplace of Morfovouni, Karditsa, in 1935. Overlooking the plateau, where a makeshift Allied airport operated during the Occupation, he conceived the idea of creating the lake, which would be created by diverting the waters of the Megdovas (or Tavropos) River. The construction of the dam began in 1950 with money from Italy's war reparations and was completed in 1959.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The lake is synonymous with activities<\/u><\/em> <\/strong>that you can do both in it and around it. Hiking, cycling, canoeing - kayaking, horseback riding, archery, pedal boating paragliding<\/a> etc. If you don't have your own equipment, you can rent it at Salon<\/a> (located at the northern end of the lake) and at Tavropos Activities<\/a> in Kalyvia Pezoulas. In fact, alongside the lake there is a beautiful 5 kilometer long cycling route that can be done by everyone!<\/p>\n\r\n
