They are about 40 minutes from Lefkada (less than three hours from Athens). The cool waters rejuvenate you.
The waterfalls come from the waters of the Nissa River, which springs from the Acarnanian Mountains between the peaks of Boumisto and Psili Koryfi and flows into the Ambracian Gulf
The lush vegetation, combined with the therapeutic properties of the thermal baths, and the waterfalls make the gorge one of the most ideal destinations for those looking for something more than just canyoning
The canyoning route begins with a short 20-minute hike full of changing scenery, with nature as the “protagonist” and a river flowing beside us with its untamed crystal-clear waters, forming small and large waterfalls, waiting for us to cross them
At the end of the trail, we encounter the first 3 abseils of 5-6 metres with plenty of water and the option to jump. Continuing through the gorge, we encounter 8 successive waterfalls ranging from 12 to 30 metres, all ending in large natural pools of turquoise waters with beneficial properties.
The route ends at the last large pool with a small natural slide, and from there, in a 5-minute hike, we are at our cars.
