Situated in Bahar Dar!
Lake Tana is famous mostly as the source of the Blue Nile and as the largest lake of Ethiopia and one of the highest large lakes in the world. At the same time, Lake Tana is also renowned for its monasteries which can be found directly on its shores, on peninsulas and on the many islands scattered all over the lake. It is pretty straightforward to arrange a visit to one or more monasteries from Bahir Dar. Lake Tana is not a clear mountain lake as you might expect, it rather has a muddy colour, at least during our visit after the rainy season.
