A city by the shores of the lake, as its name tells, is situated by the shores of Lake Tana – the largest lake in Ethiopia covering a vast area to be 3600 square kilometers.
Often called ‘the Holy Lake’, Lake Tana is indeed a sacred place – housing around 21 monasteries in which most of them dates back to the 14th century AD and all subjected to Ethiopia’s Orthodox religion, in its 37 islands and one peninsula. Not limited to the these only, the nearest village of Tisisat offers the Blue Nile waterfall which is famed to be a biblical river.
