Lake Gistova
At 2,350 meters in elevation, on the imposing peaks of Mount Grammos, almost beside the border with Albania, lies Gistova, the highest and largest alpine lake in Greece. Spread across a natural basin surrounded by gentle mountain ridges and alpine meadows, the lake forms a landscape of wild beauty and absolute serenity that captivates every visitor. It is accessible by hiking from the village of Grammos, through trails that offer unparalleled views and a profound sense of connection with raw nature. Amid the severity of the mountain landscape, Gistova appears unexpectedly — a silent revelation that rewards every step of the journey.
