Its source is in the Falakro mountains, in the regional unit of Drama, near the town of Prosotsani. It flows south until Fotolivos, where it turns west and enters the Serres regional unit. It flows into the Strymonas near Tragilos.
The river is the setting for a number of extreme sports, including rafting.[2] The Angitis cave is 21 km (13 mi) long. A short distance from the cave is the gorge of the Angitis, 15 km (9.3 mi) in length with a depth that reaches 100 m (330 ft) down to the river bed.
