Potami Waterfalls
Καταρράκτες Ποταμιού
A canyon waterfall near Karlovasi. After a forest trail, you need to wade or swim through a narrow gorge to reach the small falls in the deep pool.
The Potami Waterfalls lie about 2 km west of Karlovasi in the northwest of the island. A path beside Potami Beach leads into the gorge, passing an 11th-century Byzantine chapel dedicated to the Transfiguration. After about 15 minutes' walk you reach the first waterfall pool. To see the falls further in, you need to wade or swim a short distance through the icy canyon water. There is a café at the entrance, and entry is free. Wear shoes that can get wet, and go in the morning in summer when it's quieter. It can be combined in one day with Potami Beach and a hike to the Seitani Bays.
