01 Rafting and kayak

Clear water, and a gorge that closes over you.

Rafting on the Lousios and the Alfeios is something to try while you are in the area. The river is of low difficulty, and most people manage it without trouble.

Branches and leaves reach across from either bank, and the water is clear enough to see the bottom. A little further down, the Lousios meets the Alfeios, which runs between rocks that make passages and small obstacles for those who want them.

02 The route

Waterfalls on the way.

The guides stop at the waterfalls so that you can swim in the pool below. If you put your head under, you can open your eyes and see how clear the river is.

The stretch you paddle starts at the bridge of Atsiholos and ends on the bank by the bridge of Koukos.
