Seven Springs (Epta Piges) in Rhodes island
A small paradise in the middle of the island with the greenfull nature, the perennial trees and the abundant running waters that create a shelter of coolness and relaxation for sightseers on the island of Rhodes.
The area got its name from the natural springs that gush from seven points.
The water, via a tunnel, ends in a small lake (200 m. approximately in length and a width ranging from 10 to 50 meters. The depth is from 1 to 8 meters.), which is formed with the help of a dam. The Lake of Seven Sources is the only place in Rhodes, where someone can swim in fresh water and enjoy the dew of running water and of the forest that surrounds the lake.
These waters are the home of the rare fish species "Gizani" (which exists only in streams of Rhodes), and in the wider region there are peacocks, ducks, geese, turtles, eels and crabs.
The tunnel has a length of 150 meters and in its middle there is a well that is used as a skylight and as an airway, and the depth is 13 meters. Passing through the tunnel and walking through the water you will feel like you are in another dimension. This experience remains forever etched in the minds of visitors.
