About this experience
This daily river rafting route is available throughout the year. The longest in length river of Greece (322 km) is ready to host us for a few (6) kilometers, in its amazing natural scenery. During this tour we will admire the Meteora-like rocks, since this area resembles the one of the Meteora region (Rocks composed of psammite, sandstone). We will also spot a big variety of birds (herons, cormorants, black storks, wild ducks, falcons, eagles etc.) and also mammals (bears, deer, wild pigs etc.) that live in this wild and beautiful natural environment.
Spring or winter with lots and lots of water and impressive waves... Summer or autumn, with less and warmer water... Even under the moon light, rafting in Aliakmonas is a unique experience that you should enjoy all seasons!
