Overview

🎉 Celebrating the Outdoors in Greece!

2026 is a special year for us as we celebrate 40 years of adventures, experiences and a deep connection with nature. A journey shaped by landscapes, people and countless moments shared outdoors. From our very first steps to today, every trail, every summit and every experience in nature has become part of our story.

This milestone is an important moment for us — and an opportunity to celebrate it with you, out in nature.

A Year Full of Experiences

Throughout 2026, the celebrations will take place across Greece through a series of activities and experiences united by one common theme: exploration. From mountains to seas, with routes rich in history, unique experiences and surprises we have in store, we invite you to be part of this special year.

Our goal is simple: to celebrate together, just as we have shared this journey all these years.

We are kicking things off with a series of free outdoor activities in different parts of Greece. Open to everyone, with no prior experience required, these activities share one thing in common: a love for nature and the outdoors.

Highlights

This stunning water route takes you through the heart of Vikos–Aoos National Park. The Voidomatis River rises near the village of Vikos in Central Zagori and, after flowing through the lush Vikos Gorge, joins the Aoos River in the Konitsa Valley. Surrounded by a rare natural environment of exceptional ecological value, the Voidomatis offers an unforgettable rafting experience.

As we make our way downstream, we pass through centuries-old plane trees, caves and impressive stone arch bridges. For those looking for an extra thrill, there is also the opportunity to take a dip in the river’s crystal-clear, icy waters.

Our rafting adventure begins at the Aristi Bridge and ends just after the stone, single-arch Klidonia Bridge, right below our base. The 6-kilometre route is easy-going, with no significant technical challenges or difficulties. Towards the end, an exciting passage through a small artificial waterfall adds a fun final touch to an already memorable day.

The route is ideal for beginners who want to experience rafting for the first time, with no previous experience required.

  • Rafting in the heart of Vikos–Aoos National Park
  • Swimming and paddling in the river’s crystal-clear waters

Reviews

We've had a very nice experience rafting with our Guide Spinadoula, she was very up-beat and friendly as well as knowledgable about the river and surrounding nature. Giving both explanations in Greek and English while maneuvering the raft down the river.

Amazingly clean river that even in the rainier months is very doable for first time rafters, definitely recommend!
