Livaditis Waterfall, situated in the South Peloponnese region of Greece, is a 40-meter-high natural spectacle that offers more than just its grand cascades. Reaching the waterfall is no easy feat, and it’s recommended that you be in good physical shape and well-prepared for the trek.
Your journey to the falls begins at the signage between Darma and Xanthi. From Xanthi, you’ll make your way to the small town of Stavroupoli and ultimately to the village of Livaditi. Signboards and red and white marks on rocks and trees help guide you through your journey.
The trail to Livaditis takes you through a dense forest teeming with a variety of trees and shrubs. The woodland is so rich in fauna that you might even catch glimpses of wild animals such as deer along the way—though hopefully not bears!
Once you reach the waterfall, you’ll find there are various activities to partake in, but a picnic beside the roaring falls is perhaps the most rewarding. The idyllic setting makes for the perfect backdrop to a relaxing day in nature.
Visiting in the autumn is especially rewarding, as you’ll get to see the forest adorned in fiery-colored foliage. The autumnal scenery extends beyond the forest to the mountains in the nearby region, making your adventure to Livaditis Waterfall a multi-sensory experience you won’t soon forget.
