Neda Waterfalls
Καταρράκτες Νέδας
A series of waterfalls and emerald pools in the Neda River gorge, where after wading and hiking you can swim in natural pools.
The Neda is the only river in Greece named after a woman. Near Platanitia village, it forms multiple cascades and jade-green pools. From the parking lot, a path leads down for about 20 to 30 minutes to the first waterfall. Some sections require wading, so wear non-slip canyoning shoes. There is no entry fee and no facilities, so bring your own water and food. The falls are about a 1.5-hour drive from Olympia and are often combined with a visit to the Temple of Apollo at Bassae.
