Gadoura Dam

One for the geeks. The water level was very low so we could walk along the spillway. The echos at the bottom are spooky. You can drive round the whole reservoir but the majority is unpaved although passable in a normal car. Virtually deserted when we visited.

A truly breathtaking place to visit, a stark contrast to the somewhat bleak stone covered coastlines. Bring snacks and you will need a car with AC during the summer months, but it is something really worth visiting.Most of the roads up to the dam itself are normal paved roads, however we took the dirt track from the 'viewing spot' (Google maps name) to the dam itself and it was passable in a Toyota Yaris.

A great place to come to during the spring to connect with nature and take in some of the more adventurous sights the island has to offer. Make sure you have plenty of gasoline in your tanks and good tires before coming here.Great place for picnics and hiking. Camping could be possible. No swimming allowed by the dam.Do not come during rainy days or after rainy days unless you have a 4x4 vehicle otherwise you risk getting stuck on some of the less stable roads.Have a back up plan in case you get stuck, especially if you’re with someone who may need to take medications or something.Beware rockslides.Beware wasps and bees, especially if you’re allergic.European cat snake is the only dangerous snake in the area but they pose little threat to humans. Be careful with your dogs.There are lots of goats around. Birds nesting in some of the shorter trees as well. Ants and spiders as well, especially if you’re hiking you’ll see them.Signs will guide your way. Cellphone reception for European phones is pretty good. Make sure you have battery in case something happens.No bathrooms around, so make sure you have toilet paper in case nature calls.No trash cans around, so please pick up after yourself.Avoid fires. Do not smoke here and if you do, please put out your cigarettes responsibly.

Amazing place, no human existence, pure nature. Very quiet, we saw lot of deer's and roe deer. not scare of human. July forest fire slightly touch the forest around Gadoura but it is still beautifull place. Thet make a paved road half way around the dam, nice trip.

Amazingly calm and picturesque, but likely not worth the difficult drive for most people. The "road" is possible in even the smallest of cars, but takes a good 15/20 mins from the nearest main road.Still, worth a visit if you have the patience and skill!
