River Trekking in Neda
Neda is a river of the western Peloponnese and the only one with a female name. It originates from Mount Lykaeus, flowing west and discharging into the Ionian Sea. The river takes its name from the nymph Neda who was a water deity. Near the banks of the river is the ancient city of Figaleia and the temple of Apollo Epicureanus. The river, in its largest part, crosses a gorge with very rich vegetation where many waterfalls are created, the largest of which falls from a height of about 25 meters. Neda is another well hidden jewel of Greece and a perfect choice for hiking…
The hike and meeting point with your guide is at the bridge of Figalia near the village of Platania. After a short briefing we start walking into the river. We may have to step on rocks or jump on the river bank looking for the best route. Walking in the water is unavoidable, while in other places swimming is absolutely necessary. Along the river there is lush vegetation with plane trees. Waterfalls suddenly appear before our eyes and in some areas the river narrows and is surrounded by steep cliffs. After 4 hours of walking and swimming, we reach the last and most impressive waterfall of 25 meters. At the point where it falls a lake of crystal clear, turquoise water is created. We will swim in this lake and under the large waterfall. The more adventurous will try to rappel down to the opening of the Stomio cave. At the end of the walk we will make a relaxing stop to try a homemade picnic with fresh local delicacies.
