Cascata de Mourao consisted of a couple of waterfalls both accessible by a short trail originating from the village of Anços situated near some mill ruins.

Valanaris Waterfall (Καταρράκτης Βαλανάρη)
The Valanari Waterfall was perhaps the closest waterfall to Athens that I’m aware of, which makes it all the more amazing that it’s still somewhat unknown.

The Kalamaris Waterfalls comprised a pair of twisting waterfalls making it a surprisingly tall attraction located near the coastal lagoon town of Gialova.

Cascata del Diborrato is the main waterfall on the Fiume Elsa, where the river runs alongside the popular Elsa Trail beneath the town of Colle di Val d’Elsa.
