Lake Yliki (Greek: Υλίκη Yliki, Ancient Greek: Ὑλίκη Hylike, Latinised as Hylica[1]) is a large natural lake of Boeotia, central Greece. Situated 8 km north of Thebes at 78 m elevation, it has been an important source of drinking water for the Athens agglomeration since 1958.[2] It is surrounded by low mountains, which separate it from the drained Lake Copais.
In popular culture
Some scenes of French-singer Indila's music video "S.O.S" were filmed at the lake.[3]
