Inflatable Kayaking & Monorafting in Acheloos (Aspropotamos). Routes / Sections: “Aspropotamos I, II & III”.

Here we talk about the same routes, grades and duration times as for the rafting. Inflatable kayaking and monorafting in Aspropotamos takes place during the actual rafting period as the river, being a mountain river, usually holds less water than the Pinios, something that makes Aspropotamos quite ideal for inflatable kayaking and monorafting, even for the ones with little experience throughout the river’s rafting season.

Duration in the river:
Aspropotamos I, 1.15′ hours.
Asoropotamos II, 2.45′ to 3.00′ hours.
Aspropotamos III, 4.00′ to 4.30′ hours.

Price:
Aspropotamos I, 75.00 Euros p.p.
Aspropotamos II, 90.00 Euros p.p.
Aspropotamos III, 120.00 Euros p.p.

The meeting points for our routes in the area are as for the rafting:
Alexiou bridge for the Aspropotamos II route and the Agia Paraskevi bridge for the Aspropotamos I & III. Both points are located in the Tria Potamia Aspropotamou location.

In order to have the total activity’s time for every route (from the moment of our meeting to the ready to return home time), add to the duration time in the river, 2.30’ hours for Aspropotamos I and 3.30’ hours for Aspropotamos II & III.

Rafting in Acheloos (Aspropotamos). Route “Aspropotamos II”.

Meet at the Alexiou bridge. This is the second part of the river (the actual continuation of Aspropotamos I). The rafting route starts at the Alexiou bridge and ends just before the Mesochora dam. Gradually, as we raft down the river, the valley widens more and more, revealing unique views of the surrounding mountain tops. Every turning holds a new visual surprise of natural beauty! Most usually, the water offers us a blue crystal clear color! This wonderful feeling of being in such a special place with a strong sense of isolation and untouched nature – rarely found in Europe today – accompany us to the end. We stop at one of the numerous white pebbled “beaches” along the ride for hot drinks and cookies, to admire the surroundings and take a long breath.

The route finishes a little before the Mesochora dam. Duration in the river, 2.45’ to 3.00’ hours with grade II and III rapids. You are transferred in our vehicles back to your cars at Alexiou bridge for your return, after you have enjoyed the appropriate picnic.

Price: 85.00€ p.p.

Rafting in Acheloos (Aspropotamos). Route: “Aspropotamos I”.

Meet at the Agia Paraskevi bridge. This is the first part of the river starting close to its springs. The route is characterized by narrow passages, sharp turns with fast flow, and the need for precise maneuvers in quite a small space, so that you will be called by your guide to execute precise paddling too… almost continuously! Here, you will have a strong feeling of real participation all the way! A fast and exciting game to the end. We stop half the way to take our breath while enjoying hot drinks and cookies in a very nice spot.

We finish at Alexiou bridge, where a nice picnic in beautiful mountainous nature awaits us. We transfer you back to your cars for your return. Duration in the river, 1.15’ hours with grade III rapids.

Price: 70.00€ p.p.
