Arachthos (Tzoumerka)

Arachthos (Tzoumerka)

Offering two routes of unparalleled beauty, Arachthos is one of the most popular spots for river rafting, whether you are a beginner or a more advanced rafter. Entering into the narrow gorge of Arachthos, you will come across breathtaking scenery with vertical steep slopes reaching 700m. In the middle of the route, you have the opportunity to make a stop and walk to the Glyfki waterfall. Where the waters fall, a small pond has been formed; the most adventurous of you can try to enjoy a refreshing dive!

Departure point for beginners is the Politsa Bridge (Lazaina) whereas Tsimpovou Bridge (Harokopi) is more suitable to the advanced. Both rafting routes end at the historical Bridge of Plaka, the highest single-arch bridge in Greece crowning both sides of Arachthos.

Grade of difficulty: 2-3 (beginners) 4 (advanced)

Duration: 2 hours (or 4 for advanced rafters)

Where to stay: Find long desired peace and serenity in Tzoumerka and let yourself be captivated by unique natural beauty and the elaborate Epirus architectural tradition.
