Polylimnio is an amazing hidden spot full of lakes, waterfalls and wooden bridges but also an immense variety of trees and bushes. Its gorge together with a small river and a big number of anomalies at the ground, create plenty of small lakes and waterfalls. Almost all of them are like natural swimming pools.
After leaving our car, we will walk for a while in order to find the narrow footpath that will take us to the most impressive Polylimnio location. The footpath is easy to follow and at the few difficult points we will be helped by the existed supportive metal bars. The first lake that we will encounter is named “The Italian’s lake”, as apart from the locals, the ones that first explored Polylimnio were Italians.
On our way up the scenery is full of trees. As we walk, on our left you will be able to see small tiny lakes and waterfalls. Five minutes later we will reach lake Kadoula which means “the small Kadi” in Greek. The name is after the similar shape of the two lakes.
After five more minutes of walking in between large crabs and “smilling” frogs we will reach lake Kadi with its impressive waterfall. Your first thought after the first thrilling moments of the amazing sight, will be to take a swim to the lake. The depth is very deep at most of its points, so you will not have a problem to find a diving spot. The waters’ temperature, even on summer months, is very low, so be prepared for a few minutes “freeze”. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a natural massage from the waters of the waterfall, which they fall from a height of more than 20 meters. Don't worry about the fresh water crabs when swimming. Like the sea, it would be extraordinarily unlikely that you would be nipped on the toe. The landscape becomes even more interesting from this point, the view is spectacular since all lakes and waterfalls are visible.
There is plenty of wild life here including butterflies that seem to hang in the air almost without flapping their wings. Footwear should be sandals / trainers for this climb rather than flip flops. Remember - climbing down is always a little more difficult than climbing up. If we are lucky we will also see small fishes, black freshwater crabs, amphibians, reptiles and small mammals in the lakes of Polylimnio.
After such an adventure you will be hungry. So we will immediately return to your hotel.
