The river Neda originates from Mount Lykaios, on the border of the prefectures of Ilia and Messinia. As Pausanias mentions, Neda defined the borders of the two prefectures since ancient times. It empties into the Ionian Sea, between the coasts of Kyparissia and Zacharos.
The river in a large part of it crosses a ravine with very rich vegetation. Waterfalls are created along its course. The largest is located near Figalia and is about 50 meters high.
