The Prespa lakes region comprises two lakes located in the northwest corner of Greece, along the borders of Albania and North Macedonia. These lakes are encircled by steep mountains and oak forests, creating a breathtaking landscape. The author recounts how a review of a book about the region inspired him and his wife to leave London and settle in the village of Agios Germanos. After 25 years, they continue to enjoy the natural beauty and recreational opportunities offered by the area, such as birding and mountain walking.
The two Prespa lakes straddle the borders of Greece, Albania and North Macedonia in a basin of about 618 sq miles, forming a stunning natural landscape.
The shimmering Lesser Prespa Lake often strikes as blue in the afternoons and silvery at sunset, evoking memories of a visit that dates back to the summer of 2000.
After reading a captivating review of Giorgos Catsadorakis's book about the Prespa lakes, a single evening led to the decision to leave the city and move there.
Twenty-five years later, the author reflects on living in the village Agios Germanos within Prespa national park, surrounded by ancient and beautiful landscapes.
