The waterfall of Kalamaris in the Peloponnese |
There are several beautiful waterfalls in Messinia in the southern Peloponnese. Polylimnio waterfalls north of Koroni are the most spectacular. Unfortunately I have not been there so I can not tell you about it. However, I have visited the waterfall of Kalamaris close to Shinolaka and the nice tourist resort of Gialova, which in turn is close to the village of Pylos.

The short walk to the waterfall is very beautiful. |
To get to the Kalamaris waterfall, you drive a few kilometres north of Gialova, turn left at the sign pointing to the small village of Shinolaka. Then follow homemade signs pointing to the waterfall.

Is it then worth visiting the waterfall of Kalamaris? Yes I think so. At least if you are in the area. I was there in September and then there was plenty of water, if you come in the spring there are of course even more water. But I have heard that Polylimnio waterfalls are much more spectacular. I will go there next time I visit the southern Peloponnese.
After the waterfall, you can drive to Gialova beach for a swim » |
