Springs of Argyroupolis, Natural springs in Argyroupolis, Greece

The Springs of Argyroupolis form a network of natural water sources creating small streams, waterfalls, and pools beneath a canopy of large plane trees. The location is defined by restaurants housed in former mill buildings, which incorporate the flowing water as part of their setting.

The ancient city of Lappa relied on these sources as a vital water supply that supported the local population. The importance of water to the region extends back to Roman times and shaped how the settlement developed.

The springs carry a name rooted in mythology and have served as a gathering place for locals across generations, especially during warm months. People come here to spend time by the streams and under the old plane trees, making this location an important part of village life.

The location is best visited in early morning or late afternoon hours when it is less crowded and the shade from trees is most welcome. The restaurants offer traditional food and are easily accessible, though it is advisable to be careful on slippery surfaces near the water pools.

Five caves carved artificially into the rock face serve as ancient tombs and are tied to local traditions that view the water flowing from them as sacred. This link between burial place and water source gives the location an unusual spiritual quality that still resonates with visitors today.
