Kayaking in Greece

Steep and beautiful green valleys, endless vineyards and ancient heritage will quickly convince you to add Greece to your new favourite paddling destination. Something that very few people know is that Greece is also home to beautiful whitewater hidden in deep canyons with transparent water. This special trip will let you experience your favorite sport at the same time as experiencing Greece’s ancient culture and heritage. After relaxing days on the water you’ll enjoy the evenings experiencing local food and drinks.

Upon arrival you will be picked up and driven to our accommodation where you will meet the rest of your travel companions for the next ten days of adventure.

Accommodation: Athens

Our plan is to paddle at the Peloponnese in southern Greece paddling rivers like the Lusios, Alfios and Erymanthos and finishing with a rest day at the beautiful beach near Patras. On our way through the peninsula we plan to visit Corinth canal, Mykonos and Olympia. After the rest day we will run Sellnous Potamos and then we will travel to central Greece to paddle at Karpenisiotis, Krikello and finally Mornos. For the duration of the trip except for arrival, departure and day prior ti rest day we will be wild camping.

Greece however can be very welcoming with water levels or the season for water can be very short. Plans can change to northern Greece if we are forced to follow the water – however our back up plan involves seeing Acheront, Meteora, Cyril & Methody Cathedral and more!

To finish up the trip we run Mornos river and afterwards we start heading back to Athens stopping by Delphi to hear the story of the ancient oracle. We arrive at the same place we stayed at the first night and enjoy our last evening in Greece.

Accommodation: Athens
