C	Christian Neuhold on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice to see turtles in fee nature.. nice round..
K	Kamila Gąsiorek on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic place, remember turtles can't eat bread! Turtles do not have the proper digestive enzymes to eat bread safely. Bread for turtles is not suitable food and has no nutritional value. The turtle will eat a piece of bread, but not because it's good for him, but because it will be easy prey. A large amount of bread eaten can lead to death.
M	Mo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ !ATTENTION! Google shows two possible routes to the lake. If you driving a regular car (no Jeep, 4x4,...) use the route close to the gas station! The other route is damaging your car! The lake is grate. Its a nice trip. We saw many turtles and a two snakes ?
M	Mahiki on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ About 30 min walk with older kids. Lake is small, no wow factor. A bit disappointing. All turtles were hidden.
L	Liviu O on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A place where I was because it was a rainy day. Is not a waw place. Is impresive because there are a lot of turtles. You can bring something and give them to eat like bread or something else. They came a lot and you cam make pictures or movie with them. The road till there is good but a part of it is macadam.
E	Evgeniya Raspopova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We visited this tiny lake in August and it took us 10-13 mins to get from the foot of the mountain to the pond by car. The road is awful - it goes like a roller coaster up the hill with a cliff on one side, then down with the thorn bushes sticking into the car windows. At some parts there are rocks on the road and you'll jump inside the car while hitting them. This was a huge minus for me. You can hike on foot there, but it'll take minimum 30 mins however there are a few benches along the road. The lake itself has dirty water, 2-3 spots where you can watch the swimming turtles and that's it. Totally we spent max 15 mins taking photos. You can't walk around the lake because it's not suited for any tourist activities except watching. I won't go here for the second time.
S	Stephan Hannig on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice calm and easy hike fom the main road to Mavrobara. 2 km to walk or go by car on a perfect prepared road. Chilled and calm place. Respect nature! Take a breath and walk the way! Recommandable!
