Explore Krioneri through its landscape and culture: the Valtorema and Kryoneritiko rivers flow through the area, and paths lead to six named springs and wells. Viewpoints such as Alonia and Rachi add to the natural appeal, while well-preserved wedding customs provide a cultural connection. Nearby is the summit of Tsougkri, whose role in the Greek Civil War offers a historical perspective on the surrounding area. When planning your trip, you can choose between natural sites, local customs and history.

Rivers in the area

The Valtorema and Kryoneritiko rivers flow through the Krioneri area; the Kryoneritiko is 5 km long. These two named rivers give the area a tangible connection to its landscape. The Kryoneritiko’s length provides a specific measure, while Valtorema adds another river to the area’s waterways. For travellers who want to get to know a place through its waterways, water here is more than a single feature: it also appears in the springs and wells.

Springs and wells to visit

Six springs and wells have specific names: Krya Vrysi, Klouvio Nero, Kerasoula, Itia, Gidomantria and Kastanoula. Unpaved roads and paths lead to them. For a side trip, the type of route matters as well as the destination you choose: factor the unpaved surfaces into your preparations and check current conditions before setting out. This will help you choose which springs and wells to visit based on the conditions on the ground.

Viewpoints and their locations

Alonia is a spot in Krioneri with a special view; Rachi is near the lake and also offers a special view. Their locations provide a simple guide: Alonia is in Krioneri, while Rachi is near the lake.

Alongside the rivers and springs, these give you two more specific points of interest in the landscape.
