Welcome to the Gem of Thessaly
Nestled between fir forests and crystal waters, Lake Plastiras offers authentic hospitality, local flavours and outdoor adventure all year round.
Live the adventure
From hydro-biking on the lake to hiking the peaks, your adventure starts here.
Activities
A place full of history
Home of the ancient Dolopes, and woven into the stories of Troy, the 1821 Revolution and the wartime resistance.
August festivals
Village panigyria, music under the plane trees and a wine festival fill the summer nights.
The dam
General Nikolaos Plastiras’s vision, completed in 1959 — and still powering the region with clean hydroelectric energy.
A taste of Agrafa
Savour local honey, Mesenikolas wine and traditional pies from our local producers.
Getting here
Just 25 minutes from Karditsa, and an easy drive from Athens (3.5 h) or Thessaloniki (2.5 h).
