LEFKADA NATURE

Two spectacular waterfalls are formed in the canyon, one of the most important habitats of the island. Created by the waters of the homonymous stream, which stem from Vafkeri and were praised in the poems of Aristotle Valaoritis.
The falls form a natural lake around impressive cliffs and caves. To reach the waterfalls you will follow the trail outside the village Dimosari.

CANYON OF MELISSA

Bridges, mills, caves, trees, sources: Canyon of Melissa was once a place of lively and refreshing waters and streams functioning 64 mills!
Today only 6 of them are in order but the place is still alive thanks to walkers and nature lovers who visit it.
After walking the first 2 km you reach the area where the mills are concentrated. At this point the path splits into two new paths: one leads to Apetasti and the other to Kako Lagadi.
