potami waterfalls

Although it is a bit to climb all the way it is worth seeing the waterfalls. Most of you have seen better ones probably but if you are healthy enough please see them. There is a nice restaurant with a good view on top. If you want to swim you should organize well since it is a bit uncomfortable to dress up and the water is cold of course.

This was a nice place. There are some very steep stairs which are difficult to climb. You have to walk in the water to get to the waterfalls and to the last waterfall you need to swim. So if you want to go to the last one, don't take your bags and other belongings with you. Otherwise it's okay even to carry a bag, the water reaches about to the waistline. We were walking with sandals and without shoes, but if you have some kind of water shoes, it's a good idea to take them. There are rocks in the bottom and you also need to climb a bit, but the rocks were not really slippery. It really was worth the visit, so if you are around, you should go here! And if the water feels cold in the beginning, just go on, you get used to it.

You need to wear approprate shoes to pass through the forest and climb long wooden staircase and also get ready to walk (or swim) through cold water. You will see small waterfall first and the bigger one 10 min after. Don't miss the cafe with gorgeous mountain view

The walk through the woods and streams was great fun. Then the climb up the creaking steps to find that fabulous log cafe with the amazing view was awesome. You can have something to drink and eat and slowly walk back down to continue to see the waterfalls. Sadly I didn't know you had to continue through water and didn't have swim suit so I couldn't continue. But I loved it even up to that point. If you're afraid of heights and don't want to climb the stairs, there's a road on the back side which you can drive to the log cafe. It's worth the view.

We visited here in Sept and enjoyed the walk through the forest and up the old and sometimes unsafe wooden slats with the rickety rails.When we reached the top had a lovely snack and a few drinks I needed that .Then went to the stream to walk up to the. Waterfall but we could not climb up the ropes and swim because we had back packs with expensive cameras in would have been good if we had been made aware of this as there was a big chance of them getting wet .

This is absolutely the place you have to visit when you find yourself in Samos. The river path will take you to a place with waterfalls and climbing ropes. There is a wooden stair that will bring you up to the most amazing tavern ever. If you are a lover of Greek food, meat eater and wine drinker, this tavern called Arhontissa will compensate you for the rough ride... Kostas, the owner, is a charming old man who built the place with his own hands. The view is excellent and its cool on a warm day. From Karlovasi it takes a 10 minute ride to the start of the path. There is also a castle and a Byzantine church in the same area.

The view, the waterfalls, the food and the owners of the restaurant are just incredible. A must see not far from Samos

Really pretty and a nice physical challenge to climb the ropes, etc. A lot of fun! Don't bring your expensive cameras or phones unless you can hold it above your head.

It is a magical place to be....Dont take any valuable things with you, just your bathing suit ,a towel that you leave outside, and if you have a pair of non slippery shoes........You get in the frozen water and walk along, sometimes swim , to reach the first small waterfall that you have to climb on to reach the other...Beautiful adventure....felt like Lara Croft...in a good way!!!!!!!!A must do!!

The scale of the whole thing is much less than you expect when you hear the word waterfalls.Although is small, it is an interesting walk and climbing and can be combined with a whole day activities in that part of the island.

if you really are hoping to see a big waterfall you will be disappointed. its more a stream where you can have a nice walk. some parts will become deep where the water will be 1.5 m deep but most of the time its knee deep. the most important thing to know is that if you arrive at the point where you have to climb a rock there's no way back. once you've done that the next hurdle will be an even steeper and higher rock of more than 3-4 m. if you have fear of hights the best thing you can do is take the stairs (and don't look down) so you can bypass this hard part. We all had a great time climbing but it's not for everyone (and make sure you have good shoes/trainers that can get wet!!)

I would definately recommend to any visitor of Samos, an excursion in the waterfalls.Most tourists though are not informed properly and they do not know what to expect so they are sometimes disappointed or even over-exhausted.A visit in the waterfalls includes about 30 minutes trecking in a beautiful forest and then about one hour of walking (and sometimes swimming) in the narrow river. In the middle of the road you can climb up some really high, wooden, semi-destroyed stairs and find yourself in the top of the hill: Beautiful, breathtaking view that you must see!There is a refugee on the top, serving coffee, snacks and some local dishes, decent quality and a good price. I would recommend having breakfast or lunch there, the view is amazing.Some tips for future visitors:- Expecting to find deep, clean waters in August is obviously naive... it's the most dry period of the year.- Put on sports shoes - Never flip flops- In a couple of spots, it is very difficult and maybe dangerous to climb: Mind that if you have kids or disabled people with you.

You are expected to trawl through deep dirty water and climb slippery high rocks but most give early.

A pleasant walk along a small creek with a cute little waterfall at the end. But the highlight is the Archondissa Restaurant located at the top of some steeps steps above the waterfall. Definitely worth the trek up there, great views and amazing traditional food and wine. Well worth the hike up the wooden staircase for a taste of real Samos hospitality.

First of all there is a really nice path towards waterfalls. Beautiful old church, wonderful path walk through, birds sings etc. When you reach the sourch of the water stream you see a small canyon that makes you wonder what is there? You walk throug canyon that water comes up to you chest and then there you have the waterfalls. Well, it this the water falls? You keep thinking, maybe its because of the time of the year (july)? In any case i expected more then that.
