Lake Scotini

Gerry as a boy, along with Theo, would go to collect specimens at Lake Scotini, and walking from the "Daffodil Yellow Villa" at Kontokali.. A brisk walk of about an hour! Some 80+ years later there has been much development around it, including a quarry and a few houses nearby. The lake is still there and teeming with wildlife. You can see Balkan Green Lizards, European Pond Turtle, Roesel's Bush Crickets, Scarlet & Ruddy Darters, Black-lined Skimmer, Cleopatra & Glider butterflies. Birds included a Lesser Grey Shrike and several Little Egrets, are all possible, although the early spring time may be the best time to visit
