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 getting 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 paddle 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 are 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. We return back again with our buses at Alpine Zone’s base, which is located just a few meters past the Plaka Bridge, with friendly staff offering traditional syrupy sweets, refreshing water, changing rooms, and washing facilities.

We had a great time on the Arachtos river. It was intense and exciting. Eleni, our guide, was absolutely great and we felt we were in good hands.

An amazing unforgettable experience! Our guide George was experienced and professional. We felt safe even during challenging rapid's. The duration was 2-2.5 hours in the water which was perfect. The scenery was amazing and the guid took our photos so we didn’t have to worry about bringing our phones. Great logistics and organization. Altogether fabulous unforgettable experience.

The whole trip was great, the drive there was very smooth despite the winding mountain roads. Vasilis was a wonderful guide, very experienced and knowledgeable. He quickly helped me back into the raft when I fell out. We had a stop to swim and got to see a gorgeous waterfall. The entire trip was breathtakingly beautiful and I was sad for it to end. Worth the drive from Delphi!

Thanos the guide was awesome. The walk to the waterfall was excellent for us, and the cold water was so refreshing.
