A river ride in the heart of the Vikos-Aoos National Park, in the mountain wonderland of Zagori. It was the place of the late Ice Age (actually 17.500-9.500 years ago) where hunters’ settlement dominated the area, the seat of various monasteries and the site of a murder that plunged the area in a deadly blood feud that lasted for years and destroyed a prosperous village in the process.
We start our descent from Aristi Bridge after we get ourselves fully equipped with specialized rafting equipment. No previous rafting experience needed. We slide and wade through some of the clearest (and coldest) waters in Europe, through pristine nature shone by Oriental plane trees, in a place steeped in history. At the end of the ride, we pass below the famous stone bridge of Klidonia (last rebuilt in 1853) and then through an artificial dam that creates a rip current (waterfall).
The base of Alpine Zone is located just a few meters from the bridge and Alpine Zone staff will be waiting for you at the base, offering you traditional syrup sweets (baklava), water, changing rooms and washing facilities.
