What I can't see

Previously called Besikion Lake, it is the largest lake in Macedonia and the second largest in the country, with a depth of 23 metres. It was tectonically “born” 1,800,000 years ago. It used to lie under the sea surface. Along with Lake Koronia, it has been classified as a wetland of international significance under the Ramsar Convention. It hosts 245 bird species and 24 fish species (carp, perch, roach, eels, etc.), including the lipari, a species that is unique in the world.
