Kaimaktsalan – Pozar Baths – Kounoupitsa Waterfall (from Thessaloniki)
Activity Description
An unforgettable winter tour in nature, combined with relaxation and rejuvenation at the hot waterfalls!
The Kounoupitsa waterfall is located in the beautiful Isio Pefkos gorge (Ramno Bor), near Ano Loutraki Aridea and the famous Pozar Baths. Three streams meet in the gorge: Isio Pefkos, Louta stream and Kounoupitsa stream. The waterfall is 12 meters high and impresses with the intense flow of water.
Our adventure begins from the parking lot of the baths, where we will begin our hike. At the beginning, the route has a steep climb that lasts about 40 minutes. The path crosses low vegetation and trees, offering a view of the Agios Nikolaos stream. As we proceed, the landscape changes and moves through meadows and a forest road until we reach the lookout with the characteristic kiosk.
From there, we begin the descent through a verdant path towards the river. This route takes about 50 minutes, and as we get closer we hear the sound of the waterfall louder and louder. After a short hike parallel to the stream (about 15 minutes), the waterfall appears in front of us, offering a breathtaking sight. We will make a stop to enjoy it, relaxing next to the crystal clear waters.
The return is via the same route back to the baths, where you will have free time to enjoy a relaxing dip in the warm waters. For those who prefer something different, there is the possibility of transportation to Loutraki for free time to relax.
