Location information

Trichonida Lake

  Aitoloakarnania, has more lakes than any other part of Greece. Among them is Trichonidha, which is also the largest lake in Greece. Its rich fishing includes smelt, while three species of fish are endemic to its waters, Cobitis trichonica, Silurus aristotelis and Economidichtys trichonis. Around the lakeshore bamboo thickets are home to large flocks of coot. In spring, the few remaining pockets of willow, poplar and elm trees come alive with the song of the nightingales.
  Overflow from Trichonidha finds its way into the neighbouring lake of Lisimachia, and then into the river Dimikos, which thus collects the last reinforcements from the generous flow of the Acheloos.
