Neda River Hiking in Greece 2025
Grab your hiking shoes and swimming suit to explore one of the most beautiful spots in Greece
Best time: May–September
Neda is the only river in Greece with a female name, and it's no wonder that it's one of the most beautiful. Its crystal blue pools and waterfalls attract many visitors. You can go canyoning, trekking or even running here. Hikers can begin at every point of the gorge or can complete a full 2-day trip.
The route is located in the Messinia region and can easily be reached from Platania village. The best season is May to September. Otherwise, you risk getting stuck on a muddy road while hiking, not to mention the river itself downloads huge amounts of water.
The Kyparissia castle and a 20-meter high waterfall are some of the most popular places to visit on the route. Rich flora and fauna of the region are also deserving of attention.
