The Epta Piges (Greek Επτά Πηγές [ɛpta piʝɛs], also Efta Piges Εφτά Πηγές, seven springs') are a popular destination in the east of the island of Rhodes. It is about four kilometers from the road between Afandou and Archangelos towards the island interior and six kilometers from the resort of Kolymbia. The town owes its name to the seven springs, which combine to form a stream that flows slightly further north into the River Loutanis. In 1930, Italian engineers created a tunnel for the Loutanis and a reservoir for drinking water. The spring pond formerly fed an aqueduct to the Kolymbia Plain, the remains of which can still be seen next to the eucalyptus avenue. In the waters, there is the Ghizani, a Rhodos endemic species of carp fish (Ladigesocypris ghigii, Greek γκιζάνι), which is considered the most endangered species in Europe.

To a restaurant located between plane trees you climb a watercourse through dense forest with free-roaming peacocks. From there you can walk through the 186 m long, dark tunnel through ankle-high water to the other side of the hill, where you will step outside at the spring pond. Bathing in this pond is not permitted as it is a drinking water protection area.
