Turtle Pond

Various species of turtles live in the pond. You can walk around the small body of water on paths, but there are only two places where you can get directly to the pond.

September 13, 2021,Runde von Políhrono über den Mavrobara-See 🐢 und die Agia Triada Kirche ⛪️ 🇬🇷

Today there was a relaxed round on well-trodden dirt roads from the town of Políhrono over a pond full of turtles and two nice chapels. A nice little round, after which the cold drink tastes all the better on the beach.

October 23, 2024,Von Polychrono zum Schildkröten-Teich "Lake Mavrobara" 🐢🇬🇷☀️

Today we went on a less demanding, not too long tour to the turtle pond "Lake Mavrobara" 🐢 In the best weather, we first went uphill on a wide path, almost 300 meters in altitude to overcome. On the way up we passed 2 small chapels, both quite pretty to look at and both open ☺️ The turtle pond lives …
