We didn’t expect too much when we read about a waterfall just off the road from Kalamata to Pílos, but we were surprised with what we found.

The Polylimnio waterfalls are near the village of Charavgí from where a well-marked route over a dirt road leads to a parking just next to the valley.

Reaching the main waterfall |

The day before we had heavy rain which made the rocks very slippery. But it also was the reason for a lot of water coming down the river and great waterfalls between the many lakes. These lakes are in summer a great spot for a dip, today it wasn’t enticing enough to strip and jump 🙂
