Vouliagmeni Lake #2

Brief summary of history, use, state, etc.: Lake Vouliagmeni, situated 25 km south-east of the centre of Athens, was formed when the roof of an underground cave collapsed and flooded, after an earthquake occurred 2000 years ago ( Chintiroglou et al., 1996). The lagoon covers a surface area of 4000 m2 with a maximum depth of 13 m (Gontikaki et al., 2003). The ‘western’ part of the lake is a 30 m high rocky cliff. The lagoon is 260 m long and 145 m wide with an extensive underwater channel network, that reaches depths of 100 m. (Chintiroglou, Antoniadou, & Damianidis, 2008)
