Description

This trip is a great way to live adventurous moments in the heart of the lush nature of Northern Greece. Our rafting experience takes place in the Venetikos and Aliakmonas rivers, located close to Meteora. Our route is of medium difficulty during winter, of lower difficulty in spring while during summertime and autumn it is ideal for fun and adventure loving families.


Our Meteora Rafting tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in Trikala, Kalampaka or Kastraki. After a 45 minutes drive from Meteora we reach the river bed, where we gear up by wearing our rafting suits. We then proceed to an introductory lesson during which we go over all rafting safety rules and techniques. Now we are ready to begin our adventure in this unique natural environment! Imposing rock formations, beautiful river waters with great rapids and refreshing dives and fun in the water. At the end of our rafting route we will enjoy a nutritious picnic with traditional Greek pies.


After changing back to our dry clothes, we hop on our van and return to our hotel where our adventure ends.


Trekking Hellas offer numerous other exciting activities in Meteora for all types of travellers. Try our Meteora Experience tour if you are interested in culture.
