Gria Vathra

Γριά Βάθρα

A small waterfall and pools in the forest above Therma, a 10- to 15-minute walk away, suitable for visitors who don’t want a long hike.

Gria Vathra, meaning “Old Woman’s Pool,” lies in the valley south of Therma. Here a stream forms several small waterfalls and clear pools among large boulders, surrounded by dense plane-tree woodland. From the parking area at the end of the road, a gentle path takes about 10 to 15 minutes to reach it. It is much easier than Fonias, which makes it suitable for children. The water is very cold, perfect for cooling off in summer. There are small restaurants near the entrance. The rocks are slippery, so take care.
