Doiran Lake (Macedonian: Дојранско Езеро, Dojransko Ezero; Greek: Λίμνη Δοϊράνη, Límni Dhoïráni), also spelled Dojran Lake[2] is a lake with an area of 43.1 km2 (16.6 sq mi)[3] shared between North Macedonia (27.3 km2, 10.5 sq mi) and Greece (15.8 km2, 6.1 sq mi).
To the west is the city of Nov Dojran (Нов Дојран), to the east the village of Mouries, to the north the mountain Belasica/Beles and to the south the Greek town of Doirani.
A monument to one of the battles and two cemeteries for Greek and British troops stand on a hill a few hundred metres south of the lake.
Frequent and heavy rainfall in later years helped restore water levels in the lake.
[citation needed] North Macedonia's part of the lake has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports populations of ferruginous ducks, Dalmatian pelicans and pygmy cormorants.
