Get ready to enjoy a beautiful hike in the forest of Polichrono. Great views walking to the turtle lake and great views walking back home. It is apparently 70 min hike. Recommend to be organized with water a few sandwiches and some extra bread to feed the turtles.
Natural lake with terrapins In Polychrono, located in Mavrobara, on the mountain and inside the forest, one can visit and enjoy the natural lake with terrapins.
