Near the highest peak of Smolikas Mountain at an altitude of 1940m. - 1960m. there are two impressive ponds. These lakes are a landmark of the region and are connected with many legends. There is water throughout the year and various amphibians live there. You will see toads (Bombina variegate, Rana graeca) and newts (Triturus alpestris), a rare amphibian which is 8-12 m. long and looks like a tiny dragon. According to a local legend, two dragons lived in the drakolimnes (=dragon lakes) of Smolikas and Tymfi Mountains. The dragons were fighting by throwing stones at each other.
