There are many interesting facts related to the origin of the lake and its ecosystem. The lake was formed a few thousand years ago from the cave. Its depth is 15 meters at the deepest point. The water originates from the sea since there is an underground connection between the lake and the sea.
There are many interesting plant and animal species in the lake. Just as expected, most of them have natural habitat in the sea, since the water is the same as in the sea.

Just near the lake, there are educational boards where you can find more details about species in the lake and its origin.
