Please keep distant from the animals to avoid disturbing them. Setting off on foot from Mikrolimni and following a path to the south, the visitor can reach the fabulous bay of Latsista with its amazing view of the lake and aquatic birds. The building next to the path is the Elliniki Etairia's Biological Station, used by scientists working in the area in the past. After a nice walk the visitor can enjoy fresh fish at the local tavernas near the lake.
