The most important of these sources is in Kambi of Sempronas, a location of incomparable natural beauty, with crystal clear waters and ancient plane trees. This river is full of vegetation and water during the summer season and trouts and eels swim in its waters. In the neighborhood of Seli, there are cafes and restaurants available for visitors. The inhabitants are mainly occupied in agriculture and animal husbandry.
