Greece - Papingo rock pools

18 Mar 2019 68 53 1677
The Papingo rock pools can be found a long the stream Rogovo. They are easy accessible along a path (PiP1), starting at a small parking place along the road between Megalo Papingo and Mikro Papingo. Soon the first rock pools - locals call them ovires - are visible. These fonts are actually cavities, which were created in the limestone rocks by the movement of the water of the Rogovo. The valley narrows and becomes a kind of gorge without a real trail, but with numerous pools, filled with crystal clear water. In summer locals often close artificial barriers (PiP4), creating ‘swimming pools’.
