Seven Springs
Επτά Πηγές
A wooded spring valley near Archangelos, where you can wade through a pitch-black water tunnel about 180 metres long to reach a lake.
Seven Springs lies in a valley about 5 km west of Kolymbia on the east coast. Seven springs feed a stream flanked by dense pine and plane trees, and peacocks wander through the woods, making it a pleasant place to escape the summer heat. The highlight is wading through the roughly 180-metre water tunnel built by the Italians in the 1930s. The tunnel is narrow and pitch-black, with water up to your ankles, and at its exit lies a small reservoir lake. You can also bypass the tunnel on a path above ground. Entry to the valley is free, and a traditional taverna stands at the entrance. Wear shoes that can get wet and bring a torch. People with claustrophobia should not enter the tunnel.
