The crystal-clear waters of Lake Plastira and the rich greenery surrounding it blend harmoniously with the mountain tops of the Agrafa region and its traditional little villages. The remarkably balanced beauty of the central Greek location makes it hard to believe that this lake is actually artificial. Surrounded by wild mountain slopes, the lake is an all-year round destination. The colors to be experienced at this spot of unrivalled beauty vary depending on the time of season.

The artificial lake resulted from an idea proposed by Nikolaos Plastiras, an early 20th-century military general and politician, who envisioned the construction of a dam on the Tavropos river, also known as the Megdovas, to resolve the age-old irrigation issue troubling the Thessalian plain. Although the idea was first tabled in 1925, the project was not completed until 1959. The resulting lake can hold up to 400 million cubic meters of fresh water.

During World War II, a part of the area now covered by the lake was used as a secret airbase by the Allies. It was never detected by the Nazi German forces. It is said that locals from nearby villages hid the airport’s runway with greenery during the day and lit fires at night to mark it out for approaching Allied pilots.
