A local would say...

An entire ancient city swallowed by forest, sleeping beside a still lake.

A UNESCO World Heritage site tucked deep in forest beside a tranquil lake near the Greek border, containing ruins spanning Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian civilizations layered over 2,500 years. The site includes a theatre, baptistery, basilica, and city walls half-swallowed by the forest. The serene lakeside setting gives the ruins an otherworldly, lost-city atmosphere.
