SAINT THOMAS WATERFALLS AT MESANARGOS VILLAGE IN RHODES ISLAND GREECE
I am coming from a small but picturesque village, called Mesanargos, which lies 83 km, from the town of Rhodes, capital of the homonymous island. It has plenty of beauties, such as the only waterfalls in the island. This is Saint Thomas Watefall. It is called like that because it is near the monastery of Saint Thomas. The day of its celebration is Saint Thomas Sunday, which is celebrated every year, one week right after Easter Sunday. That day, plenty of prayers, come to visit the waterfalls. The beautiful gauge, formed there, green with plenty of running water, offers accommodation to many species of birds and animals. THE DISASTERUS HUMAN INTERVENTION During the last years, however, some people who do not respect the environment have done things that harmed the region. Lorry drivers have removed soil and stones, digging the hill of the waterfall. The inhabitants have informed the community and stopped digging. There is a relevant post at the villages blog (messanagros-rhodes.blogspot.gr), which criticizes the people responsible. SOME PEOPLE DECIDED TO USE THE WATERFALLS AS A WASTE DUMP About a year ago, some people threw waste from the street right above the waterfall. Such waste, were cupboards, fridges, chairs and other objects. Vaggelis Pavlidis, a famous cartoonist, who lives in the village nearby and loves the region, visited the area and saw all these and complained in the local newspapers and blogs (at the www.iporta.gr site). CLEANING THE WATERFALLS As soon as the issue became known, the church council, the cultural club and the local board, planned cleaning actions on a Sunday. Many inhabitants helped and waste was removed. The waterfalls returned to the previous natural state. Visitors can now enjoy the natural beautiful area. It was decided that the locals would visit the waterfalls frequently to take care of it. The waterfall is a clean region now. Crystal waters running, among green trees and the sounds of birds. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the unique region. VISIT TO THE WATERFALLS AT SAINT TOMAS FESTIVAL Exactly one week after Easter Sunday, which is Saint Thomas Sunday, all prayers will come to the waterfall. I am always happy to invite my friends and see it. A BEAUTIFULL PHOTO OF THE WATERFALLS During winter, the waterfall IS honored by nature. See, it rains. Even in summers though, when it dries, it retains its beauty. LAKE AT THE WATERFALL Right at the riverside, small lakes are formed. Frogs, tortoise, little fish live there. Rabbits, lamp, birds and partridges can be found there too. AS THE LOCALS SAY: THE WATERFALL IS PRECIOUS
