Springs of Argyroupolis, Natural springs in Argyroupolis, Greece
Fresh water emerges from multiple sources creating a network of streams, waterfalls, and ponds beneath a canopy of mature plane trees.
The ancient city of Lappa established these springs as a vital water source, supporting a population of 10,000 during Roman times.
Local legends attribute the foundation of this area to Agamemnon, connecting the springs to Greek mythology and ancient heritage.
Restaurants built within former water mill structures offer traditional Cretan cuisine alongside the flowing springs and waterfalls.
Five artificial caves carved into the rock face serve as ancient graves, with water flowing from these tombs considered sacred by locals.
