Varvara waterfalls, Waterfall in the mountains of northern Halkidiki, Greece.
The Varvara waterfalls feature two distinct cascades flowing into natural pools surrounded by beech, linden, and wild hazel trees within the dense Kipouristra forest environment.
Originally undiscovered until recent years, these waterfalls have gained recognition as a tranquil destination for visitors seeking to experience the inland beauty of Halkidiki's terrain.
The region hosts an annual music festival in early August that attracts visitors and enhances the cultural experience alongside natural exploration of the area.
Access requires a six-kilometer drive from Olympiada via dirt road, with parking available near a wooden gazebo that serves as the starting point for hiking trails.
The waterfalls flow into the Mavrolaka river which forms the natural boundary between Olympiada and Varvara villages, adding geographical significance to the site.
