River Trekking Upper Voidomatis

Price from €90

Overview

We start our River Trekking from the village of Vikos and head towards the natural springs of Voidomatis. Here we gear up, wear our wet suits and start entering the Vikos Gorge. During this amazing trek, we have to cross the river several times, take in the views of the traditional stone bridges above the river and the magnificent scenery that the ravine offers. This beautiful river has a stable temperature of 4 ° C all year round. Its ice cold waters will of course not stop us from a refreshing swim in its beautiful blue-green waters. It is considered to be one of the cleanest rivers in Europe as its water is potable. Half way through our trek we enjoy a traditional picnic in the gorge to regain our energy and then continue towards Aristi’s bridge, where we end our trek.

Reviews

Vikos Gorge River Trekking the experience of our life.
My husband and I did the Vikos Gorge River Trekking and that was the greatest nature and hiking experience we've ever had.
The experience was absolutely amazing, all alone with our very professional guide in this unique nature.
Our guide "Apo" was all the time very aware of adapting the pace to us and all the time looking for the safest way to pass.
We rented a car and drove for 2,5 hours, and it was definitely worth it.
If you are anywhere near this place, have a good balance and a good physique, you should take your time to try the river trekking.
We will never forget this tour. Thanks a lot "Apo" for a great day.

Definitely try the River Trekking!!!!
It’s not the most popular activity but it’s definitely worth the effort. Our guide knew the river like the back of his hand and was able to answer any questions about the river that we had. Swimming in the river is fun and we definitely warmed up over time. Overall a really fun…
