We visited the lake at Zaros after our visit to Vrondissi Moni. The area was well maintained and the lake clean and picturesque.We ventured up to St. Nikolaos church where a new church is being constructed. From there the resident priest, a genuinely light-hearted and hospitable man, directed us to the path leading to the nearby Rouvas Gorge. We hiked to its opening: it was breathtaking! The next time we´ll do the whole gorge but for those who want a short walk(1 hour)it is well worthdoing.But be wary, you need good footwear!
