The Region - Lake Plastira and Agrafa
A marvel of human ingenuity and natural splendor in Thessaly. The impressive dam in Kakavia created Lake Plastira, one of Greece's largest artificial lakes. Framed by the majestic fir-covered peaks of the Agrafa Mountains, it is also one of its most picturesque.
Lake Plastira is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Often called the jewel of Thessaly, the lake is rich in history, once home to the ancient Dolopes. The lush forested slopes and the dramatic peaks of the distant Agrafa mountain range enhance this breathtaking scenery. At an elevation of 1,350 meters, clear days offer views extending all the way to Mount Olympus.
Montanema
Your private retreat, crafted from natural materials and nestled among fir trees. Enjoy the comforts of a mountain resort in your private, sunlit cottage, featuring beautiful stone and wood accents. Unique old objects and artworks from a personal collection add a special.
