Papingo Rock Pools (Ovires)
Οβίρες / Κολυμπήθρες Πάπιγκου
A chain of emerald-colored natural rock pools carved by a stream between Greater and Lesser Papingo; in summer you can take a dip to cool off or take photos.
The Rizanas stream has carved a series of round rock pools into the stone, with clear emerald-green water surrounded by smooth grey rock. Signs by the roadside from Greater Papingo to Lesser Papingo mark the way, and it’s only a few minutes’ walk. Swimming is possible in summer, but the water is very cold and the rocks are slippery, so be careful. The water volume peaks in spring during snowmelt. Admission is free.
