"The "Gria Vathra" river: a time machine" Samothraki Island Things to Do Tip by magdaki

Follow the signs from Therma and you will reach the beginning of the path for Gria Vathra. Here there is no entrance fee. The hike is a bit harder than the one at Fonias, and there were a couple of points where my friend had to help me. Make sure you have the right kind of shoes (that you don't mind getting wet), water and sun lotion. You can keep going and going to find one waterfall after the other, one small lake to swim in after the other. You will come across people who free camp, and if you go far enough, most people will be swimming nude. It was almost like having a time machine and going back to when people didn't need clothes, and were happy just with swimming in a beautiful rock-lake :-) please make sure you respect the environment!
