Kaiafas lake (Greek: Λίμνη Καϊάφα) is a lake in Elis in southwestern Greece, extending north of the town of Zacharo. It was likely formed after an earthquake struck the river Anigros.[1][2] It lies between the Lapithas Mountains and the Ionian Sea.
The lake is home to an algae species, Chara corfuensis.[3]
