MIKRI PRESPA (Lake) FLORINA
One kilometer east of the village of Platy
is the church of Ayios Nikolaos, which according to the local tradition is dedicated
to the Transfiguration of the Saviour and is called Ayia Sorita. Its simple exterior
contrasts strongly with the lavishily painted interior decoration, which belongs
to the end of the 16th c. Nearly Mikpi Prespa the visitor may see the ruins of
the village of Opayia, which was abandoned before the 2nd World War due to malaria.
The area limited by opayia, the Koula site and the asphalted road, includes the
most sensitive part of the National Park core. Vromolimni ("Stinking Lake") is
an internal body of water that communicates with the waters of Mikri Presra. Here
large colonies of Pelicans and Cormorants can be found .Being such a delicate
area, admission here is strictly forbidden. The visitor can watch the birds with
binoculars or telescope from the observation post of the north, next to the road.
This is one of the best places in Prespa for bird watching in spring.
