What to expect
In summertime, our adventure day starts with a visit to the waterfalls at the source of the river. We will then be transferred to the arched Venetian bridge from where the real adventure begins: walking in the riverbed, swimming and playing at the little waterfalls in the spectacular natural playground of the Kourtaliotis gorge.
We participate in our most exhilarating activity with plenty of swimming, easy and short climbs and a lot of fun. The exit of the gorge offers an unforgettable picture, as the river comes out in the sea through the forest of palm trees. We have the opportunity to swim, either in the river or in the sea.
