Potami Dam

In the picturesque Municipality of Amari, lies the Potami Dam.

As per the Municipality of Amari, the recent construction of the dam, positioned north of the settlement of Voleones and the Patsos Gorge, has brought about a significant transformation of the landscape. The once-small enclosed valley of Potami now boasts a lake, serving as an artificial wetland. This transformation has rendered the area particularly captivating, forming a new hub for leisure and tourism activities.

From a biological perspective, the area already appears to support a substantial population of wintering birds, including endangered species like the ferruginous duck. Concurrently, the reservoir plays a crucial role in conserving a significant volume of water.
