Greece - Papingo rock pools

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’.

You have made a good choice for the main picture IMHO, Jaap.
The inserts give us a variety of good information but first has more balance of colors.
Thank you.
