Desi Waterfalls

The Deses Waterfalls are a stunning natural attraction located near the village of Desi, on the western slopes of Mount Chalikovouno in the Aspropotamos region of Thessaly, Greece. This remote mountainous area is known for its untouched landscapes, dense forests, and seasonal waterfalls that come alive in spring.

Kremasti Waterfall – 100-Metre Drop

The most impressive of the two cascades is the Kremasti Waterfall, located at the site known as “Kremasti.” With a dramatic drop of around 100 metres, it is considered one of the tallest waterfalls in the Aspropotamos area.

During the summer months, water flow is minimal, but in spring—when snow melts from the surrounding mountains—the waterfall becomes a powerful and spectacular natural feature, often regarded as the most significant in the region.

Goura Batimari Waterfall (Legkos Waterfall)

A short distance away lies a second waterfall at “Goura Batimari,” also known locally as the Legkos Waterfall. This smaller cascade has a height of approximately 30 metres and is fed by an underground river emerging a few metres above the drop.

Though less imposing in size, it offers a peaceful and atmospheric setting, surrounded by lush vegetation and the sounds of running water.
