Lake Vouliagmeni situated on an idyllic landscape, this rare geological phenomenon is waiting to be discovered. We will stop at the picturesque lake for Photography.The lagoon formed about 2,000 years ago.[1] It was once a large cavern that collapsed following an earthquake. The outline of the collapsed cavern roof can be clearly discerned from a distance. The lake has quite unique environmental conditions: it is supplied with warm seawater (28-35°C) via an underground channel spreading through a network of flooded caves, so its temperature never drops below 18 °C (usually ranges around 21-24 °C), whereas a freshwater spring reduces its salinity to brackish levels (14.5-18 psu).[1]
