Neraida / Fonissa Waterfall Milopotamos
In the picturesque village of Milopotamos follow the sign to "Neraida, Waterfall”; it will lead you to an idyllic site with tropical greenery, beautiful bridges, alleys and streams. This magical place is located within a glen -designated as of outstanding natural beauty- with rich poplar and plane trees vegetation. The “Neraida” or “Fonissa” waterfall is situated among huge plane trees and the sparkling waters falling from a height of 20 meters form a small green pond ideal for swimming - only for the brave ones though, as the water is too cold! Walking around the waterfall you will find the abandoned watermills and more small lakes formed by the terrain. Be sure that the environment will charm you and take you back to the time of fairytales and myths, in places where fairies once lived. After a refreshing walk in nature, you can pass through the ravine and go for a swim at Kalami beach.
The walk to the waterfall starts down steps and it doesn't take long to reach the falls. You can continue the walk further along to find watermills and lakes depending of the ages and ability of your family! The surrounding village of Milopotamos (meaning river mills) has many traditional tavernas and coffee shops for refreshment after your walk.
