Pithara Waterfalls
Καταρράκτες Πιθάρας
Forest waterfalls and pools beside the village of Apoikia, surrounded by plane trees and old watermill ruins, with a valley landscape rare in the Cyclades.
Pithara lies near the village of Apoikia, northwest of Chora. Water falls through a plane tree forest, forming several small cascades and cool pools. Wooden walkways and little bridges line the trail, and old watermills still stand along the way. Nearby is the Sariza spring, famous for its bottled mineral water. It takes about 10–15 minutes on foot from the car park to reach the falls, and a loop trip takes about an hour. It is also part of the Andros Routes trail network. The water flow is low in late summer, so spring is the best time to visit.
