This five-hour white water rafting trip takes place on the Arachthos River in Epirus, Greece, starting at Plaka's Bridge and ending at Tzari. The route passes through a deep canyon and includes rafting under the Old Plaka Bridge. Inflatable rafts are used, and all necessary safety equipment is provided, including neoprene suits, shoes, life jackets, and helmets. Depending on the weather, additional items such as dry jackets and gloves are supplied. Bottled water is available during the trip. Photos taken during the rafting are shared online after the tour. Swimsuits and towels are not supplied, so participants should bring their own. For the 2026 season, the usual route has been temporarily changed due to road construction in the Tzoumerka area following local authority safety instructions. The company plans to return to the original route once the situation is resolved.

Itinerary
Plaka Bridge
The ride starts at Plaka Bridge, a 20-meter-high, 40-meter-wide single-arch stone bridge, the largest in the Balkans. Participants are fully equipped with rafting gear before setting off downstream. No previous rafting experience is necessary for this Class III white water rafting route. The river canyon walls reach up to 700 meters in height, surrounding the Arachthos Gorge with clear waters. In winter, the waterfall is full and loud, while in summer some riverbed sections may be nearly dry. The rafting covers a 9-kilometer stretch ending at Tzari. Buses return to Alpine Zone’s base near Plaka Bridge, where facilities include changing rooms, washing areas, water, and traditional syrupy sweets offered by the staff.
