In the tales of Greek mythology, Neda was a water deity, a nymph, and was one among those who nursed Zeus. The Neda river canyon is a marvel of nature in the Messinian rural landscape.

Great nature experience around a beautiful river - We had a great time with Georgos and Foivos, two great guides who are very helpful and try to convey a lot of information. We all enjoyed the beautiful landscape as well as a swim in the refreshing cold water. Good sturdy shoes and the Neopren socks that you can choose to use are helpful. Prepare that you will get completely wet which is part of the game and fun. A certain minimum of fitness is required as it is more than just a short afternoon walk. We are a family of 5 (ages 15 to 56) and enjoyed the day very much. Marianne, Bernhard & kids

Hiking Tour through Neda River - It was an extraordinary experience to walk through the Neda River. Our tour guide Fotis showed us many beautiful and especially natural spots of the river. Especially on this hot July day, the swims were more than refreshing. We always had fun and didn’t have to worry about taking pictures. Fotis took over. He also educated us about the surroundings and even had a first aid kit for insect bites with him. We felt safe and could just enjoy nature in the 4 hours! At the end of the tour we also came to the Neda waterfall. Completely exhausted, we were picked up by his colleague Trifonas in a jeep and taken to our cars. Both Fotis and Trifonas are naturally very funny contemporaries who have given us an unforgettable adventure. Thank you for that. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is here in the area. +++++++ It was an awesome experience to do the Neda hiking tour. Our tour-guide Fotis showed us a lot of interesting and wild natural spots on the Neda River. Especially on this very hot day in July we enjoyed the swimming parts of the tour. They were very refreshing. We enjoyed the hike and also did not have to carry about the pictures. Fotis did a lot of pics, so we could just relax and enjoy the beauty of the nature. In every situation we felt secure and comfortable. The we ended the tour at the Neda Waterfalls, which was also a nice experience. But especially for me, I liked the river more. After the Waterfalls, Trifonas picked us up and drove us to our cars. Fotis and Trifonas were in a good mood and we had a lot of fun. Thank you guys for this unforgettable experience! I would recommend this tour, if you are around the Neda River.

Best camera rescue team in Greece ;) - A huge thank you to George and the hole team. I lost my camera in an olive Field while i was hiking at Neda waterfalls realized it only the next day when I was already in Athens preparing for my return flight. I asked the explore Messinia Team for help and on the same day George drove to the Waterfalls and back to get my camera! Afterwards he sent it to my home adress where it arrived completely unharmed afterwards! Thank you again for your effort & all the best!

River Trekking - The landscape was fantastic and definitely worth a visit. However, I would not characterize it in any case as easy (as stated on the site) especially for two beginners as was the case in our case.The driver was often in front of us without the possibility of asking for help in some difficult passage (there were times when the driver had moved so far ahead that we did not see him.) At the beginning of the journey we were given dry bags without being given instructions on how to use them. Towards the end of the journey I felt a discomfort in the leg gave us the impression that the driver did not have a pharmacy with him. Finally, the snack was very poor given the cost.
