Kannaviou Countryside

Published 26th of April, 2019

Let's start our exploration at the Kannaviou Dam. Now, you might be growing tired of looking at pictures of dams, so I won't feature too many shots. It does look pretty though.

Still a metre or two to go before the overspill is breached. Hopefully in the mean time we will have found a better angle from which to photograph it.

On our numerous visits to the dam over the last few days, we have also taken the opportunity to explore the countryside between the Asprokremmos and Polemi.
