Kalamaris Waterfall
A visit to Kalamaris Waterfall is a wonderful way to enjoy the natural beauty of southwestern Messinia. Nestled on a lush hillside just a few kilometers from the Gialova Lagoon, this small waterfall offers a serene setting ideal for families, nature lovers, and hikers looking for a light outdoor adventure.
The area is a charming micro-wetland, home to various amphibians and insects—perfect for sparking curiosity in young explorers. To reach the waterfall, follow a narrow, shaded trail that winds through a peaceful forest of oak, plane, pine, and mastic trees. After a pleasant 15-minute walk, you'll arrive at a tranquil clearing surrounded by towering plane trees. A small wooden bridge leads you to the waterfall and its inviting natural pond.
In spring, the waterfall is especially picturesque, fed by abundant water and surrounded by vibrant greenery. In summer, the water flow is lighter, forming delicate streams over the rocks—still a magical sight. Don’t forget your camera, as this scenic trail offers plenty of opportunities for stunning nature photography.
