Neda Springs

This is the "official" beginning of Greece's only female river.

Neda is thought to originate from this point, although the waters of all the rivers and streams that precede it arrive here. During the summer months when the aquifer is lowered, the waters gush from the bottom of a small lake. In the winter, however, they spill over, dramatically foaming with a loud noise from a slit in a rock. The small lake of springs was formerly called the "Karamicha aisle" because its waters fed the Karamicha watermill, which is preserved in good condition about 100 meters further down the river. Next to the fountains you will see the picturesque Church of Agia Anastasia. This is usually where the two-day Neda Crossing adventure begins, organized by local clubs each summer. This is a trail of great interest, but very difficult and dangerous. Don't try it by yourself.
