Votomos Lake
Photo: Hartmut Wimmer, Outdooractive Premium

Der Votomos-See liegt nördlich des Ortes Zaros auf Kreta.

Der Votomos-See wurde im Jahr 1987 vom Forstdienst geschaffen. Zuvor befand sich an dieser Stelle ein kleines Feuchtgebiet. Der künstliche Stausee wird zur Züchtung von Speisefischen (z.B. Forellen) genutzt. Angeln und schwimmen ist verboten. Um den See führt ein ca. 500 m langer Fußweg. Zudem startet hier ein Wanderweg zur Rouvas-Schlucht.
