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.[4]
The gorge is ideal for canyoning and rapelling excersions.[5]
It is located less than 2 kilometers away from the village of Prastos on the road towards Astros (which is the nearest town) 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.
