This lake was made some hundred years ago by the people of Samos in order to collect the water from the springs above. The water is semi-salty and is used to give power to a wooden propela that moves the mills in a small water-mill to product some wheat flour.

Today its only a ruin, but very usefull place for water birds and fishes.
