Photo: Chech Explorer · CC BY-SA 3.0Lake Lefkogeia is an artificial lake near the village of Lefkogeia in Drama, about 8 km from Kato Nevrokopi. Its dam was built to prevent floods and to supply water for irrigation and household use on the plateau, where the Nevrokopi potatoes grow.
How it formed
The lake depends on rain and snow. It was full around 2020, and after years of drought, with little snow on Mount Falakro, its level had fallen dangerously low by early 2025.
