Things are still quite tranquil in the small and tranquil mountain village of Léka. Strolling through the narrow streets is delightful.

The Plateia offers a shady spot with a great view of Karlovasi. You can refresh yourself here in a tavern and a snack bar. Great place that we will definitely come back to again.

Wooden Staircase to Taverna Archontissa (Potami Gorge)

Highlight • Structure

The stairs are really an adventurous construction.
It leads about 40m from the Potami valley to the tavern Archondissa.
It is worth it!

Taverna Archodissa at the Potami Waterfalls

Highlight • Restaurant

The tavern Archodissa looks like a small museum inside. Whether a gramophone, old irons or old kitchen utensils -. There is some curiosity to look at.
