Nydri waterfalls

Nydri waterfalls are a cascade flowing through a rocky canyon filled with dense vegetation and surrounded by pine forests. The water drops over several tiers, creating a series of pools of varying sizes suitable for swimming.

Local people have used these waters for centuries, and the site has developed from a hidden local secret into a protected natural area of ecological importance. The transformation reflects growing awareness of the need to preserve such natural spaces.

The site holds local importance as a gathering place where people come to escape summer heat and experience the cooling effect of mountain water. The pools invite visitors to refresh themselves and find a moment of respite surrounded by nature.

Wear sturdy shoes for the rocky and uneven ground, and bring water and sunscreen for protection. The trail crosses small streams and involves climbing over rocks, so a reasonable level of fitness helps.

The waterfalls flow year-round thanks to Lefkada's extensive underground water reservoirs. This allows them to maintain their flow even during the driest months, when other water sources on the island dry up.
