About Agoriani Waterfall (Καταρράκτης της Αγόριανης)
The Agoriani Waterfall (καταρράκτης Αγόριανης in Greek) is the centerpiece of the village of Eptalofos (or Agoriani, which is its old name) on Mt Parnassos.
This modest 10m waterfall (maybe taller if you count other unseen tiers nearby) on the Agoriani (or Agorianitiko) Stream is sourced by snowmelt on Mt Parnassos.

The stream itself continues through the village square, including along the short footpath accessing the waterfall, before it eventually joins the Kifissos (or Kifisos) River.
Due to the channels and the amount of development around the stream, I did wonder how much man-modification was involved with the watercourse and the waterfall.
That said, I suspect they merely built around the natural watercourse as opposed to creating the attraction.
As far as experiencing this waterfall, it’s basically a matter of exploring the village of Eptalofos itself, which is a compact mountain town at 850m in altitude.

Public parking for the town was more on the edge of town (see directions below) towards its north.
However, as far as our experience went in early April 2024, we basically stayed at To Balkoni Tis Agoriani, which was a locally-run inn uphill from the village square.
They instructed us where to park across their property, and from there, we just explored the town by walking about 300m down to the square.
Once in the square, signs pointed the way to walk the remaining 100m to the Agoriani Waterfall, which followed along the Agoriani Stream before reaching the dead-end right at the base of the waterfall.

In the evening, this path as well as the waterfall was lit up, which created a completely different ambience.
From talking with a local that that did speak English (there was only one that we encountered), she said that Eptalofos was more of a weekend town in the Spring season.
Therefore, the town was quite dead on our visit though it allowed us to really enjoy the waterfall as well as the area’s tranquility (even if the wind was blowing pretty hard and we drew quite a few stares from locals not expecting foreign tourists).
The town of Eptalofos or Agoriani has a population of under 500 people so you can imagine how quaint it is.

However, in recent years, it has been gaining more notoriety in part because of the presence of this waterfall as well as its proximity to the famous ruins of Delphi as well as the Parnassos Ski Center.
How long it takes to visit this waterfall depends on how far from the village square you’re starting your walk.
For the record, we started from our accommodation, which was 250-300m from the square (making our total walking distance around 800m, not counting walking to other parts of the small square looking for a dinner place that was open).
Authorities
The Agoriani Waterfall resides in the village of Eptalofos, which itself is in the municipality of Delphi in the Fokida or Phocis Prefecture of the Central Greece Administrative Region. I suspect that the officials of the Eptalofos Village are the governing body that presides over this waterfall.
