Contact with water is always an entertaining experience and can become magical when combined with a lush natural environment. Both pleasures are covered by ten rivers we recommend for 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.

Voidomatis river
Rafting at the Voidomatis river, in northwestern Greece’s Epirus region, could well be one of the finest experiences offered by this water sport in Greece, not so much because of the river’s adrenaline-boosting difficulty, but more so because of the amazing route taken by its (cold) waters. The route passes through superb wild mature, under old, arched stone bridges, by springs and small waterfalls.
