Swim not snorkled - I have been here before and the place has become much more popular with the years. Now there was stinn bracket, new way down and more parking spaces.
After swimming into the waterfall we walked down the river to the dam where we walked the work road to the main road where we had parked. Remember shoes

Beautiful freshwater snorkeling experience - We had a great time, impressive stunt, Kristen and Erik who were our guides are really friendly and attentive. We were equipped with wetsuits because the water was at 15°C. Very good agreement with the other people in our group. Too bad the site is crowded, I think it should limit access before it's too late for nature preservation.

Swimming under the waterfall in a cavernous gorge! - Although there are other tourists also in the gorge and swimming , doing the same thing, having a wetsuit and mask/snorkel that were fitted to my size and my eye sight prescription mask made the tour so much more, as I could see better and all the photos were taken by our guide with a underwater camera. They included transport and explained about the history of the area. Made the adventure easy and fun.

Wonderful excursion - Kirsten and Naomie was wonderful. The trip was a true authentic Greek experience. The views are nice and the water cold. You did have to carry all your gear up and down a hill but it was worth it. Bring water shoes and be prepared to be cold.

Family trip to the falls with snorkel - The trip was nice but too expensive for what is offered for it. And snorkeling was hardly or not possible because you were hardly in the deep water and more about stones in the riverbed was hiking. The water was very cold as it is pure spring water which is not entirely insignificant. The children freeze themselves with wetsuits. And the duration to the falls is very short. The 4h of the excursion is the most busy with the trail and equipment. Too bad, actually. But the location is very nice to see just not for the price. The guide was good and professional.
