Waterfall parking, weekend crowds
Ethniki Odos Kozanis Ioanninon, 441 00, Konitsa
Been here?
Free, small parking area beside the old bridge and waterfall, with a drinking fountain, garbage bins, river access and a scenic gorge walk to the monastery. It is a good base for hiking and the Via Ferrata, with restaurants in town. The area can become very crowded with local cars on weekends, while nights are usually quiet. The uneven or sloping space is difficult to turn in with vehicles over 8 m.

We stayed here for via ferrata climbing. Free parking. The monastery is closed on Mondays, so many spaces were available.
A really beautiful place. At weekends, many locals come to hike to the monastery. Then the car park is very full. We were there for the via ferrata and spent the night in the car park. There are also some restaurants in town. The town is very touristy because of the monastery and the bridge. Whole buses full of people also arrive.
We were there on Sunday afternoon, so there were lots of cars. We couldn’t drive all the way to the back. Turning around was also difficult with a vehicle over 8 metres. I reversed out again without any problems.
Not very level but sufficient for spending the night; magnificent for hiking or the Konitsa via ferrata. Good internet coverage, and the river is right next to it for cooling off when you return.
Tight space or otherwise very steep. The parking area higher up has better conditions.
Parking spaces along the access road above the bridge. The spaces are very sloped, packed with cars during the day, but quiet at night. The town centre with tavernas is about a 30-minute walk, uphill.
Great parking area as a starting point for the via ferrata or hiking. Please don’t park right at the front by the bridge as shown in the photos. There is plenty of space at the beginning of the road or along the sides, since even the locals don’t park there and the area is used for relaxing and taking photos!
Very good spot, super quiet this time of year.
Very pretty spot, quiet, clean, no dogs. Beautiful view of the bridge. I recommend it!
Lovely place to stop for the night right next to the bridge the walk towards the monastery is stunning in a beautiful valley
Beautiful place by the bridge over a river. The bridge is 20 metres high and 40 metres wide! ❤
Great starting point for the via ferrata. Fantastic location.
I didn’t spend the night, but it’s perfect for the excursion to the gorges and the monastery.
Awesome place to go swimming! A lot of people during the day. We haven't stayed for the night, but especially when driving up the river on the right sight, it looked nice for a stay. Suitable for smaller Campers only.
