Salakos and the Butterfly River Walk

Salakos and the Butterfly River Walk

A circular walk taking in the Butterfly River at Salakos

The Butterfly River cascades down through the wooded valley to the east of the village of Salakos. The well trod path that follows this river climbs to the head of the stream where the area of the Nymph springs makes a fitting finale of this walk. Plenty of views, plenty of shady lush vegetation and, of course plenty of butterflies.
