Swimming at plunge pools, or vathres, as they are referred to by the locals, is a favourite activity on the island. Their waters hail from the mountain, run down slopes, and create waterfalls and ponds. The northern section of Samothrace is filled with creeks, waterfalls, forests, gorges and trails.
