Athens Nature & Lakes - Lake Marathon in Athens, Greece, is a stunning water reservoir located approximately 45 km from the city center. It not only boasts scenic views, but also serves as a vital source of drinking water for the people of Athens. Built between 1926 and 1929, Lake Marathon was designed to meet the increased demand for water in the capital city following a large influx of immigrants after the war (1919-1922).
