Hiking and Canoeing Lake Tsivlou

Enjoy an exciting experience of hiking and canoeing at Lake Tsivlou. The total duration of the activity is 3 hours, starting from the Trekking Hellas Achaea base at Lake Tsivlou. The hike follows a trail around the lake, passing through a lush forest. The adventure continues with canoeing on the beautiful waters of Lake Tsivlou.

Our activity begins at Lake Tsivlou, one of the youngest natural lakes in Europe. It was formed in 1913 by a landslide above the village of Sylivaina, which blocked the Krathi River. The lake is named after the village of Tsivlos, which was partially destroyed by the landslide.

The hike takes place around the lake, through a forested area on the slopes of Mount Helmos, offering the chance to enjoy the unique natural landscape and the tranquility of the surroundings. The circular route lasts approximately one hour.

After completing the hike, our tour leader will provide a full safety briefing before we begin canoeing on the calm waters of Lake Tsivlou, offering an unforgettable experience in this peaceful environment.

You can complement this activity with a stay at Orias Guesthouse and Farm in Kalavryta, where you can enjoy exceptional hospitality in spacious rooms with views of Mount Helmos.

Trekking Hellas offers a variety of activities in Kalavryta and Peloponnese, such as the Vouraikos Gorge Railway Hike. Just a short distance away in Arcadia, you can also enjoy rafting in  Lousios. Our tours can be incorporated into multi-day adventures, such as the Active and Cultural Peloponnese Tour.
