Neda Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Zaharo Municipality, Greece
The 20-meter high waterfall creates an emerald pool at its base, surrounded by dense forest and rocky formations within the Neda River gorge.
The waterfall stands near ancient ruins and forms part of the 32-kilometer Neda River system, flowing from the southern slopes of Lykaion Mountain.
The name originates from Neda, a water nymph in Greek mythology who protected and nourished the infant Zeus in this region.
Visitors can access the waterfall through a marked trail from Platanias village, requiring a short hike after parking near the stone bridge.
The waterfall marks the natural border between Ilia and Messinia prefectures, featuring multiple cascades and natural swimming pools along its course.
