Start 340m – Finish 0m – Drop 340m.

Mt. Mavrovouni is the continuation of Mt. Kissavos to the south. Rakopotamos lays in the very north of Mavrovouni. We meet at the marina of Agiokampos (Agiokampos dock).

Unique formations of limestone, created by the continuous endless water flow, take our breath away after every turning along the route. The impressive contrast of the greenery against the white limestone, takes you to an amazing world of colors. 

Being a long canyon, we have split it two sections. Rako I and Rako II.

One can enjoy marvelous off path walking between each abseil of every section, as well as swimming and jumping in large deep pools. 4 abseils in the smaller first section and 6 in the longer second one, from 5m the shortest to 40m the longest. Good water throughout the year.

There is a 2-day canyoning option in Rakopotamos, doing one section per day with organized by us camping inside the canyon! Quite an experience indeed!

Actual canyoning time, 4.00’ hours for Rako I and 6.00’ to 6.30’ for Rako II. Both sections can be done as one by the very keen in 8.00′ to 10.00’ hours, or in two days with an overnight camp in the canyon.

Min. age 10 years for Rako I

Min. age 14 years for Rako II

Min. age 16 years for Rako I & II,
