Zerelia lakes are only 4 km from Almyro.

These twin lakes are actually craters created by a meteorite fall almost 8 000 years ago. Zarelia lakes were originally thought to be of volcanic origin, but recent geological research reveals their true identity. In particular, fused zirconium was identified, which in order to melt requires much higher temperatures than volcanic.

Zerelia lakes are the only ones in Greece that have been created by a meteorite. Both have a round shape. The larger has a diameter of 250 meters and a depth of nearly 8 meters, while the smaller has a diameter of 150 meters and a depth of no more than 6 meters.

In the lakes' region, prehistoric and modern settlements have been identified after excavations.

Undoubtedly, Zerelia lakes are a unique phenomenon in Greece that you have to see first hand.
