The Neda (Greek: Νέδα) is a river in the western Peloponnese in Greece. It is unique in the sense that it is the only river in Greece with a feminine name.
Geography
The river begins on the southern slope of Mount Lykaion, near the village of Neda in northern Messenia. It flows to the west through a varied landscape of barren rock and forests. From near Figaleia until its mouth it forms the border of Messenia and Elis. There is a well known waterfall near the village Platania. The Neda flows into the Gulf of Kyparissia, a bay of the Ionian Sea, near the village Giannitsochori.
Places along the river
The Neda flows along the villages Neda, Kakaletri, Figaleia, Platania, Karyes and Giannitsochori.
