Only a few kilometers away from Kalamata is the perfect place for canyoning ideal for beginners. It offers a unique combination of awesome jumps, swims into crystal clear pools, easygoing waterfall abseils, and of course a thrilling zipline over one of the lakes. Canyoning & Zipline Polylimnio Waterfalls is perfect for everybody who wants to spend an unforgettable day in nature blended with a bit of adventure and loads of fun.

He will also provide you with wetsuits, helmets, and harnesses and you are ready to go.

Your guide will accompany you during the activity to ensure a safe and fun canyoning experience.
