Lake Tana

Lake Tana is the biggest of all Ethiopian lakes 85 miles in legnth and 65 wide, at a height of 1,802 m above sea level, and with a depth of about 14 meters, and full of life . There are over 37 islands, and many of them are homes to over 20 Christian churches and monasteries, constructed in the mid- 13th and early 14th centuries. This lake was known to the Greeks as "the lake copper" or "the jewel of Ethiopia", and is powered by more than 60 rivers ... tIn numbers it is quite impressive. Passing by boat is a relaxing exercise! Take advantage to go see some of the monasteries that allow tourists to visit, because not all of them allow it!.
