you have the exact coordinates there ... (37.854341/22.459604) ... more precise than that
but if you really need a toponym... near Stimphalia Lake.

Yes Cosmin, my opinion is that coordinates are the most precise instrument to identify a locality, but have also a toponym, like a province, or a big city is better, in this way you can identify the locality without search on google earth, for example, and understand immediatly if the specimen is interestring or new for the country.

so "Greece: Korinthia: Kionia (near): Stimfalia Lake" is on my label.

Cosmin, I've checked this coordinates simply paste into Google Maps. Locality is in center of lake :-)
See below:

Write please, how do you obtain the reading measurements? Simply from GPS? Check it please.

I prefer this method to mapping locality, too but in this case coordinates need verification.

the point for Mallosia is marked with a "yellow pin".
that data were taken in field-notes when being in the field on the lake shore... searching for dragonflies... not rechecked the coordinates at home... even if do that normally.

sorry for that

Cosmin, it is no problem! This is a normally procedure in terrain.....
I've checked this from my own curiosity. Moreover yours massage is very interesting as form communication between us. GoogleEarth is very useful tool to sending coordinates.

Cheers!
