Agistri Lake

Location: Limenaria

A beautiful saltwater lake can be found in the southwestern part of Agistri, close to Aponissos Beach. It is referred to as Lekani among the locals and can easily be reached from the nearby village of Limenaria. It is a wetland with various species of fauna and flora, mostly during the spring season. Exoctic bird species like kingfishers, dunlins, and western yellow wagtails along with rare plants like Coronilla scorpioides and Nigella damascena make up some of the area’s impressive ecosystem.

A trekking path encircles the lake, where visitors can walk and admire the magnificent landscape surrounded by lots of pine trees. Trekking is an ideal activity in this area, especially for families with kids, nature lovers, and those who seek relaxation amidst a peaceful environment. Visitors can also ride a bike around the area, with some bicycle rental companies being found throughout the island. Finally, tourists have the unique opportunity to go horseback riding in this beautiful natural haven, as there is a horseriding club right next to the lake.

The lake is easily accessible since it is located on the road from Limenaria to Aponissos. Those making the trip can stop to visit the small church of Agios Nikolaos along the way. The lake is also just a 10-minute walk away from Aponissos Beach.
