Seven Springs is a great place to escape from the heat of the summer and enjoy magnificent natural scenery. The seven bubbling springs generate water all year long, culminating in a small man-made lake that provides a natural habitat for tortoises, eels, crabs and a rare fish species called gizani that lives exclusively in the streams of Rhodes.
Visiting the lake is really popular with visitors and a tremendous experience. The combination of crystal-clear waters with pine and plate trees creates a peaceful backdrop, offering the visitor relaxing moments. To get to the lake you have to walk through a very narrow dark tunnel, 186 m long. Walking through the dark tunnel with your feet in the running water, is an eerie yet exciting and unforgettable experience that can be particularly refreshing. If you don’t fancy the trip through the tunnel, then you can simply follow a footpath to the lake.
The lake itself is about 200 m in length, 10 to 50 m wide and from 1 to 8 m deep and has a small waterfall at its narrow end. Surrounding the springs are beautiful cool pine trees and rich vegetation. There are many little rustic bridges and rivers, numerous footpaths and the area is known for the geese, ducks and peacocks wandering through the woods.
