As the weather in Greece is slowly, but steadily warming up, with the sun rays making their appearance ever so often, it is time to get a little wet… And of course, Greece has its renowned beaches fit for the most demanding water lover, but did you know the country also has some amazing rivers in lush locations begging to be explored?

It is a paradise for the aficionados of rafting and canoeing. Some of these streams are calm and run straight, others are more intense and include narrow passages and sharp turns. Our recommendations cover virtually all degrees of difficulty.

Despite the country’s relatively small size, Greece has lots of rivers, approximately 30 in total, as well as many tributaries flowing into these rivers, ideal for rafting. Spring is possibly the best time of the year to go rafting as water levels are still high and nature is at its best. Choose the river or stream most suitable for you and make the most of it.
