Lepida Gorge


The Lepida Gorge is a natural formation of Mount Parnon, located in the region of Arcadia, Peloponnese. Despite its length is only 500 metres, it has a relatively big waterfall of 70 meters height and a smaller one of 45 meters.
The waterfalls' springs start from the Xirokabi plateau, located between the village of Agios Ioannis and Malevi monastery. As the river flows down from the plateau to the gorge, it forms little lakes throughout its course.
The gorge is ideal for canyoning and rapelling excersions.
It is located less than 2 kilometers away from the village of Prastos on the road towards Astros and 19 kilometers away from it. The waterfalls can be reached after an 800 meters hike from the closest motorway.
The old Oria castle is nearby.
