    Very nice place to spend a day under Greek sun and warm clean water in the lake. As a bonus fishes which clean your feet (tickles a bit). The entrance fee was 15 euro per person but its totally worth it. Great service but the prices for drinks and food are a bit high. You are not allowed to bring your own food and drinks. Otherwise great place to relax.

    Visited the lake around 11:30 on a September Monday and found it bustling. Managed to secure a shady spot, but it did feel a bit crowded. Consider upgrading for more privacy if it's a concern. The "no outside food" rule feels a bit overbearing. Especially considering dietary needs, like our son's gluten-free diet. I understand supporting local eateries, but I'd like the option to bring my own food. Now, for the unique experience: the fish! If you stay still in the water, they'll nibble away dead skin. Strange at first, but it quickly becomes a relaxing sensation, almost like a natural spa treatment. The water might catch you off guard with its initial coolness, but after diving in, it's invigorating. The lake itself is a sight to behold, deepening as you approach the cliffs. Facilities like toilets and showers are available and well-maintained. Transportation-wise, we took an Uber from the U.S. embassy area for €28 our way there. On way back we took buses to Acropolis area and then taxi from Uber. In summary: The lake is a hidden gem, facilities are clean and up-to-date. However, I'd appreciate more flexibility with the food policy and increased spacing between seating for privacy.

    Amazing lake to swim. Very calm waters. Visited on the weekend evening and it wasn't very busy. Recommend place to relax and enjoy the lake on easy swim.

    Nice clean water and fish that eat dead skin off your feet. We visited on week day (afternoon) so we paid 15€ with 2€ discount as we had a ticket from the red hop on, hop off bus (so 13€ in total). Around 70-80% of spots were full at this time. There were a lot of waiters there, most of them average but we got a really nice lady to serve us. We ordered pinacolada that cost us 12 euros/cup. They have private showers there as well. Everything is reasonably clean. I'd say you get a good value out of your entry ticket.

    Yes. Go here. Awesome nature. But stay away from the sorry excuse for a club sandwich and their so called “cocktails”. The vitamin bowls, pizza and salads are reasonably OK. Also don’t go for a draught beer, take a bottled one. Arrive early to get a decent spot. The “exclusive” spots are not worth it, in my honest opinion the regular spots are better. Staff is friendly. Shower to take the sunscreen off before diving in! Don’t poison the fishies 😜

    Beautiful place with very poor service. It is nice to take a bath in the lake. But there are not enough chairs for all visitors. Then i ordered twice a drink and never get my order. The service people are pretty unorganized and messy. Two stars for the environment.

    Wonderful place, in range of public transport. The thermal springs make water pleasant every season.

  • 5/5 Mo A. 1 year ago on Google
    My new happy place! I have been here 4 times in less than a week! If they had rooms I would stay here! Food is good! Drinks are excellent! The staff are the absolute best! Konstantia is the nicest and best person I've ever met in Greece! Love her! ❤️ you have day beds here, loungers, and much more. Does hey busy but after lunch there's always space. Stay till they close and enjoy the view and the beautiful lake. 😍

    Great place to swim. Despite February the water is nice and warm. Did 1.5h swim today. Water is pleasant and clean, lake is big enough so long swim didn’t feel boring. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Enjoyed it. Probably price could be a bit lower during winter season.

    Beautiful place, this was my second time there. I love it, you have to go if you are in Athens. It’s a little over an hour from Athens by bus.

  • 5/5 Pradeep M. 8 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    Yes! Highly recommended things to do for a trip to Athens. This is a memorable experience. Calming and therapeutic!

    Very nice relaxing day if you pay the extra fee and go to the private area. It includes your own chair and shaded area. This lake was a highlight of our trip!

  • 1/5 Ole F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is not worth visiting. Very pricey and the staff are rude! They have lots of pointless rules, which doesn’t make sense and ruins the experience. Really recommend going somewhere else!

    $18 euros to get in, no towel service offered, beautiful lake, fish were fun I was there in November so a little cold but still lovely, you can take the train to the last stop on the red line then take the 122 bus the bus is not the most pleasant experience and comes when it likes but still possible

    Nice lake, 16 euro per person, better to come in the morning.

    We came off-season (Late October). Got an upgrade, as our booked seats were in the shadow all day. So nice. The fish they are only were it is shallow (natural foot spa).

👍👍 Why nobody mentioned this free public beach before?? It's perfect sandy beach with crystal blue water. There is a private beach beside it. 10€ for entrance!! Whereas the public beach is for free and it's even cleaner. You can walk 200m and the water is still to your waistline

🫤 The cleanest beach in the area. Also the most expensive. We were prepared for that but we were not prepared to be deceived at the entrance. We were told that there were no sunbed+umbrella sets available (cost 50 EUR), and that only full beds were available (cost 120 EUR). Upon paying for the latter...
