The Pindus Mountains are the principal mountain range forming the backbone of mainland Greece. Mountain Olympus known from Greek mythology as the abode of the gods, is the highest mountain in the country, rising at 2,917 m (Μytikas peak). Lakes (natural or artificial) and lagoons abound in Central Greece. Most of them are freshwater lakes and have been formed far away from the coast as a result of tectonic or volcanic forces or the action of glaciers.

Lagoon of Messolonghi, Aitoloakarnania, Central Greece
The rivers are relatively small following the direction of valleys and discharging into the Greek seas. Most rivers support important ecosystems along their banks, while in many cases wetlands of international importance. Local authorities and other bodies (municipalities, local clubs, private enterprises, etc.) organise extreme sports activities, such as canoe-kayak, rafting and more. As a result of the country’s rich geological structure and history, thousands of gorgeous subterranean and underwater caves were formed many of these caves were used in antiquity as sites of worship, while in later times they housed churches and monasteries, many caverns situated on steep slopes were used by monks as hermitages.
