In the south-west of Lesvos, between the settlements of Eresos and Mesotopos and specifically in the Vergas area along the Roussos stream, the “Peristerionas” waterfall is formed, the location of which is one kilometer above the “Tsobani Lakkos” waterfall.
The waterfall is created due to faults that affect the volcanic rocks of the area, specifically the volcanic andesitic lavas.
The Roussou stream originates from the historical peak of Aitos (503m.). The waters of the stream fall from a high cliff more than 18 meters high, forming the impressive waterfall. The momentum of the water creates a natural depression at the point of the fall, forming a natural pond.
Afterwards, the water continues its course and creates the “Tsobani Lakko” waterfall.
