Springs of Louros

The Lake of Louros Springs is a small natural lake with crystal-clear and glassy blue water that accepts large quantities of water from nearby underground reserves. The water flows from the lake into the Louros River which empties into the Amvracian Gulf. Lake Ziros as its official name is, is also called “Blue Lake” due to the amazing turquoise color of the water. The lake is round in shape with a diameter of 100 meters and its maximum depth is 10 meters. Dozens of tall trees surround its banks but what makes it unique is the extremely rich vegetation at the bottom. Other than water lilies, one can see whole trees that are visible from the surface. Louros Springs is a place not to be missed. It is near the village of Vouliasta in Epirus and only about a 30-minute drive from the city of Ioannina. It is an earthly paradise great for outdoor activities and walking under the old trees. During summer, you can even dive into its blue water to enjoy a refreshing swim. The lake is located after the “Chani of Terovo” on the National Road Ioannina - Arta. So, if you are planning to visit Ioannina do not forget to put this wonderful place with the scenic Blue Lake on your bucket list.
