Lake Zirou in Greece

Ziros Lake or as the Greeks call it - Lake Zirou - can be found in the Epirus region, which is in the northwest part of Greece. It is located west of the municipality of Preveza and east of the municipality of Arta and has unique natural beauty.

With an approximate length of 900 meters and a width of 600, Lake Zirou creates a natural "mirror" with its waters, "enchanting" the visitor in a rich forest of thousands of species of flora and fauna.
