Lake Votomos in Zaros in Crete

The very nice village of Zaros in the regional unit of Heraklion is known for three things: the mighty Rouvas Gorge, the tasty water Zaros and that many of the restaurants serve salmon. Or really not salmon, rather trout, but it sounds better to write salmon because it is nothing you associate with Greece.
