Well, you still have the chance to make your wish come true! Agios Achillios is a tiny lake island located in Prespes National Park.
The first time that I visited Agios Achillios lake island I was astonished.
When I left the shore and start to walk on the floating bridge, I felt that time had stopped; the calming lake water created a peaceful atmosphere and the natural beauty around awaken my senses.

Natural environment and an open-air museum
The floating foot bridge led me to the lake island, surrounded by pelicans, in specific Argyropelecanos and Rhodopelecanos, ducks, and colourful flowers.
My eyes caught the exterior of a restaurant, which in reality, seemed like an art museum.
There were stony and wooden sculptures, placed harmonically, transforming the natural environment around to an open-air museum.

Agios Achillios exceptional restaurant
In a few moments, I found myself admiring the artworks in the impressive interior of Agios Achillios restaurant;
Huge paintings and artworks made with pure, local material, handmade exceptional wooden furniture beautifully engraved, introduced the spacious veranda, viewing at the lake, while a water buffalo enjoying his bath, only a few meters away.
I thought I was dreaming.

Yiorgos Paraskevopoulos and his family welcomed us to their restaurant, while the appetizing cooking smells introduced us the tasteful local cuisine of Agios Achillios restaurant.
