Polylimnio, near the city of Kalamata in the Peloponnese, is a hidden paradise with ponds and waterfalls, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Fifteen lakes, well hidden for many years, have recently started to attract nature lovers.

The water is freezing during the winter but in the summer visitors can enjoy the cool water of the lakes.
