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.
 |
| But first we had to tackle the small roads of the village. |
 |
| Getting closer |
 |
| The descent with washed out grooves required 4×4 |
 |
| Edi in danger! |
 |
| First fallen rock got him |
 |
| First waterfall of many |
 |
| A good path leads up the river through dense vegetation. |
 |
| Autumn is here |
 |
| Another waterfall |
 |
| And many more |
 |
| The danger of falling rocks was no empty threat |
 |
| The climb starts |
 |
| The highest waterfall is getting into sight |
 |
| 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 🙂

| Queen Olga snowdrops – a variety which blooms in autumn |
 |
| Climbing up next to the waterfall |
 |
| Clamps and ropes were securing the way over slippery rocks |
 |
| Reaching the last waterfall |
 |
| My favourite waterfall |
 |
| The last climb through the waterfall |
 |
| Very slippery |
 |
| Finally, we reached a path which lead us to a road and back to our parking |
 |
| Here it comes |
 |
| Tackling the grooves uphill now |
 |
| Definitely the flower of the day! |
