 Info This quiet place belongs to the monastery of Vatopedi. Since 2008 a real-estate scandal is taking place in Greece. [1] The monastery of Vatopedi exchanged less valuable, rural land of Vistonida (this area around the lake belongs to Vatopedi monastery) with state-owned valuable land [2]. These land swaps are often a discussion in the mass media. They say that this land-swap cost to the Greek-state 100m euros. [3] Ggia (talk) 21:01, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
