Deep in the Kipouristra forest of Halkidiki, northern Greece, the Varvara waterfalls, featuring two impressive waterfalls with some distance in between, emerge from the spectacular setting’s superb greenery, creating a fairytale-like setting. The location is a clearing of refreshing coolness and serenity.

Also known as the Aggelousis waterfalls, the two streams of cascading water that pound onto green rocks below with tremendous force end up at the Marvolakas river, a not-so-widely-known river that serves as a natural boundary for the villages Olympiada and Varvara.

Visitors will need to leave vehicles behind, slightly before the starting point of a lovely and accessible trail, to begin exploring this idyllic point in the Macedonia region. Look for a wooden kiosk to be encountered at the start and then cross over a small wooden bridge. From this point onwards, a path leads all the way to the waterfalls. The route, which is superb, features wild and pure vegetation spread as far as the eye can see.

At some point, a change of direction is needed, depending on which of the two waterfalls is to be approached. It is worth seeing both waterfalls to experience the reinvigorating qualities they offer.
