Tips

You can canoe, kayak and paddleboard here and play mini golf, and in October the sun can still warm the water enough for a light swim. The lake is on the south side of Belsh, near Seferan.

Nearby, Seferan has boat rides, bicycles and a lakeside restaurant, and guesthouses serve saffron tea and bread with local olive oil, with views of the Gradishta cliff and the ruins of Belsh castle.
