Fonia Gorge — Attraction in Municipality of Samothraki

One of the "must-see" places on the island. The first waterfall is a pleasant 30-40 minutes hike on an almost plain path by the river, anyone could do it. The second one is more difficult to reach, and the route to it is steeper - you'll need some stamina for it, but it's about 15 minutes away. The third one is quite further away - about 30-40 minutes, and the route is similar to the one for the second waterfall. After you cross the river (you may need to jump over the stones, or take off your shoes to cross the water) it's about 5-10 minutes away. No rock climbing is involved, but you need a good balance, sure-footedness and no fear of heights. There's one section which is more exposed, but there's a rope attached to the rock that can be used if you want to feel safe (see picture below). Shoes with decent grip are a must, don't go beyond the first waterfall if you're wearing flip-flops or beach sandals, and don't go if it rained recently and the rocks are wet! Make sure to turn your mobile roaming off, or switch to manual network - turkish operators are selected automatically right away on the path to the second waterfall, and mobile data for these...

They don't think that if they slip, they will fall onto rocks or that the depth of the pool is not safe. Also, it's not smart at all to swim underneath the waterfalls, as the water can dislodge stones onto you. Some rules for the pools:

Don't urinate in the pools. Don't wear sunscreen as there is enough shade along the route, and it dirties the water unnecessarily. It's good to have iodine and bandages with you in case of minor accidents. Nudity is allowed in the pools, showing off is not. Respect those around you and the...

A road which ends at one of the most beautiful waterfalls of Samothrace. You need to hike for 40-45 minutes to reach the place. The hiking experience was not the most difficult of my life, but you should be somehow prepared for a bit of tiredness. You should also need to have some water with you, the water of the spring is clear, but it is not advisable to drink it while many people are swiming in it. The heat is real during summertime, but the cool water will...
