Big Waterfall

This natural cascade drops approximately 30 meters over rugged cliff formations, creating a continuous stream that flows into a small natural pool surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation.

The waterfall has served as a vital water source for local communities throughout history and remains embedded in regional folklore as a site of traditional significance.

Local traditions include storytelling gatherings near the falls, and the site serves as an important location for environmental education programs about Greek natural heritage.

Open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, visitors can access the waterfall via well-maintained hiking trails with parking facilities available near the trailhead entrance.

The waterfall experiences dramatic seasonal variations in water flow, with spring rains creating powerful cascades while summer months reveal intricate rock formations behind the reduced flow.
