Rafting, River Voidomatis, Zagorochoria, Ioannina, Epirus – Outdoor Activities

Rafting, River Voidomatis. (meeting point: Kleidonia village)
Drift through the crystal waters and enjoy a pleasant ride down the river as a group.

Rafting is not, of course, “rafting” as its name suggests, but something much more exciting and fun. It is about going down rivers – with mild or high flow – in an inflatable boat. One of the rivers of Epirus, the Voidomatis, is located in Zagorochoria and is ideal for your first contact with rafting, since it has a low level of difficulty (grade 2 to higher than 6).

For a group of 1-4 people: 200 euros
For a group of 5-8 people: 360 euros
For a group price 9-18 people 620 euros
