Activity description
A rafting trip of incomparable beauty in one of the most exciting rivers known and ideal for sports activities as its wild gorge and the famous bridge of Plaka, which is the largest single-arched bridge in the Balkans, do not leave the visitor unmoved!
We begin our ride from the impressive Plaka Bridge, a stunning 20-meter-high, 40-meter-wide single-arch stone structure— the largest of its kind in the Balkans. After get ourselves fully equipped with specialized rafting equipment we set off downstream. No prior rafting experience is required for this exhilarating journey, which takes us through waters rated at a challenging Class III WW difficulty level, inviting us to marvel at the vibrant reflections. As we puddle through the river, we are immersed in the awe-inspiring beauty of the surroundings. The canyon walls rise up to 700 meters, adding to the dramatic landscape and offering breathtaking views of the Arachthos Gorge and its crystal-clear waters. In winter, the waterfall is full and roaring, but by summer, some areas of the riverbed has barely covered with water, and certain spots can even run dry. After a thrilling 9-kilometer descent, the rafting journey concludes at the Tzari area. After the end of the activity, we return back again with our buses at Alpine Zone’s base, which is located just a few meters past the Plaka Bridge, awaits with friendly staff offering traditional syrupy sweets, refreshing water, changing rooms, and washing facilities.
For the 2025 season, due to unforeseen circumstances and ongoing road construction in Tzoumerka area, the local authorities and the Municipality of Tzoumerka have directed us to modify our usual trail - which we have been using for many years- for safety reasons. Alpine Zone is committed to ensuring the highest quality experience for all our guests, plus safety, pleasant time and great experiences in Greece’s best River despite these specific circumstances.
