Rafting

Rafting is the river descent with a specially designed inflatable boat. It is a sport that is directed to everyone without requiring special fitness and muscle strength. In rafting there are various difficulty levels on a scale from one to six. The degree of difficulty of a route, depends on the morphology of the river, the number of passes and their access difficulty.

 

Greece is a mountainous country with many options from south to north. Most popular rivers relatively close Athens and we can do rafting all year round, are Lousios, Alfios and Ladonas rivers 2,5 hours drive from Athens. These rafting routes are graded of an easy to medium difficulty. More demanding rivers, mostly located on central and north Greece are Arachthos, Evinos, Trikeriotis, Erimanthos, Tavropos, Aheloos, Aspropotamos Aggitis and Voidomatis.
