Full description

Experience the beauty of southern Greece on a guided hiking trip to the Polylimnio waterfalls. Located outside of Kalamata, this stepped waterfall system consists of 15 small lakes, hidden in the surrounding forest. Hike through the lush vegetation and marvel at the spectacular waterfall cascades.

After a short van ride from Kalamata, follow your guide down a narrow path into the surrounding forest. Wander over picturesque bridges, pass by flowing waterfalls and clear lakes, and marvel at the diverse and unique flora poking out from each nook and cranny.

Continue your trek to the bottom of the gorge to reach the final and highest waterfall. Here you can soak your feet, swim, or climb up a rope ladder to high-dive into the turquoise waters. After an hour of exploration and enjoyment, it's time to hike back.

Before boarding the bus, pause to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee or snacks from the local cafe. Listen as your guide shares fascinating facts, anecdotes, and stories about the surrounding Messinia region.

Our guide was very prepared and helpful during all the trip. He even came to pick us up directly from our accomodation in Kalamata. We had wonderful time walking up the waterfalls and had a refreshing swim in one of the small lakes.We would definitely recommend this activity!

Die Abholung erfolgte ohne Probleme und sehr pünktlich und unser Guide war ein sehr vorsichtiger und guter und sicherer Autofahrer. Er konnte uns viele spannende Geschichten über die Natur und Kultur der Umgebung erzählen. Die Tour war sehr angenehm und das Wasser am Wasserfall schön kalt und erfrischend! Wir würden diese Tour jederzeit wieder machen! Meinem 11 jährigen Sohn hat es auch sehr gut gefallen. Festes Schuhwerk ist sehr ratsam. George hat großartige Fotos von uns gemacht!

Highly recommended! Our tour guide Alex was great . Gave us lot of information about Greece and Kalamata. You could ask everything he was always there to help you! We were lucky to able to do the full trip so had opportunity to swim in two different part . Although the water was a bit cold , but he was motivated everyone to try it . Thanks for the nice trip !
