The waterfall associated with the old name Glyziani is located in the area of the present-day village of Katarraktis in Pogoni, near the Kalamas River. According to local and municipal accounts, the village took its name from the large natural waterfall formed by the river’s waters, a landscape that impressed earlier travelers and historians. The original large waterfall was destroyed following severe flooding in the late 19th century, but the site retains its natural and historical significance to this day, while the old name Glyziani is directly linked to this aquatic landscape of the area.

From a tourism perspective, this destination is particularly interesting because it combines natural elements with historical memory. It is not just another small waterfall in the countryside, but a site that gave its name to an entire settlement and has been etched into the local identity of Pogoni.
