The not-so-well-known Kati lake is located in the Kati forest location on Mount Olympus at 1,300 meters altitude. With a route of rare beauty in dense forest. In the clearing of the forest site you will also find the “Fountain of Katis”. The forest site of Kati is a small plateau of Ano Skotina, Paleo Panteleimon and Paleo Poros. Her homonym means Turkish judge. According to the tradition, a Turkish judge came to the place to rest and there he died drinking the tap water. That’s where she got her name from.
The borders of villages such as Skotina, Kallipefki, Krania, Panteleimonas and Aegani meet in the area. The forest road leads to Tristrato where from there we can take the road to the also known villages of Olympus, Kallipefki and Krania. It was created in 1997 after an embankment was created and a dam was built and is 4.5 meters deep. It has an area of almost 9 acres and its capacity is estimated at 1,470 cubic meters.
The forest in the area includes mostly beech and fir trees. The area is ideal for hiking and mountain biking. The forest roads are in good condition but need attention depending on when you will repair it. In winter and until the end of March there is ice and snow and also mud in some places, so you need to be careful.
