Moires, Herakleion, Crete
Zaros Lake, also known as Votomos Lake, is a peaceful freshwater lake located at the foot of Mount Psiloritis, near the village of Zaros. It's a beloved natural retreat in southern Crete, not far from the Moires – Kalamaki – Matala area. The lake is fed by mountain springs and surrounded by lush greenery, making it an ideal spot for walking, picnicking, or just relaxing by the water. You can enjoy local trout at the nearby tavernas, stroll around the shaded paths, or start a hike into the Rouvas Gorge, one of Crete’s most scenic trails. It’s a great escape from the heat of the coast, offering fresh mountain air and tranquility in a stunning setting.
