Only 185 km from Athens, on the slopes of Helmos is hidden in dense vegetation Lake Tsivou
At an altitude of about 700 meters, on the slopes of Helmos, in the mountains of Akrata there is a dreamy lake with blue waters and drowned in green.
Lake Tsivlou is located in the Municipality of Aigialia in the Prefecture of Achaia and was created in 1913, by a large landslide caused by the area and blocked the riverbed of Krathi.
The lake has a surface of about 8.3 acres and about 80 meters deep. The visitor is fascinated by the green and the view.
The name of the lake comes from the village of Tsivlos, which was partially squeezed after the landslide and the local tradition also calls it {Mavrolimni ‘, for the evil it caused.
Today Lake Tsivou is a very important wetland that hosts many species of flora and fauna.
It is also a popular recreation and promenade destination even in winter, which many argue that with the snowy landscape the lake is even more enchanting.
The visitor can get there via the Akrata-Zarouchlas provincial road, while near the lake there are also the villages of Peristera and Agia Varvara.
