If you are a fan of intense lifestyle, experience Arcadia by rafting down the river Lousios on inflatable boats, hiking in Mount Mainalo, cycling in the Ladon and horseback riding in Parnonas.

Day 1

ATHENS-RIVER LADON-DAFNI-TRIPOLI

 

Arrival to Athens and boarding the bus. Departure for the lush green region of Ladonida.

In order to generate power, an artificial dam was created in 1980 in the river Ladon as well as a huge artificial lake. Here you can cycle along the river banks, with mountain bikes of the alternative activities company which is based in beautiful wooden facilities next to the river. Experience the thrill of “flying”, by practicing flying box over the crystal waters of the river Ladon and test your aiming skills by practicing archery.

You can either dine at the company’s facilities or at Dafni, in Kalavryta, where we strongly recommend you try the local meat and cheeses.

At dawn, we have a cup of coffee in Ladonida, overlooking the artificial lake of Ladon.

Departure for Tripoli for overnight stay.

 

Day 2

TRIPOLI-LOUSIOS RIVER-KARYTAINA-TRIPOLI

 

In the morning, we eat breakfast at the hotel and depart for Vlachorraptis.

There we find the facilities of the outdoors activities company which will guide our rafting experience at the river Lousios. We collect our uniforms and travel to the river in company SUVs.

The descent of the river in inflatable river rafts lasts approximately two hours. We start from the Atsicholos Bridge in Karytaina and cross natural obstacles in the river that offer a thrilling experience.

During our course, the waters of river Lousios join the river Alfeios, where the gorge widens and rises impressively. We finish at the arched stone bridge of Koukos which stands at 35 metres.

We visit the Vrontos waterfalls for a natural spa. There, the waters fall like crystal rain from a height of 20 meters.

Return to the facilities of the company for a “light” lunch of traditional “fasolada” (bean soup)...

We make a short stop in the picturesque village of Karytaina, for a cup of mountain tea with honey, or rakomelo, right underneath the Castle.

Return to Tripoli for overnight stay.

 

Day 3

TRIPOLI-MOUNT MAINALO-KAPSIA CAVES-TRIPOLI

 

Breakfast at the hotel and departure for Mount Mainalo.

In the fir-tree covered mountain range, the Arcadian Club of Ecologist Mountaineers has set up a network of well marked trekking trails.

We recommend a relatively small trek, lasting 4 hours or so, such as the Omorfostallos gorge (from Roino to Kardara) or the Mylaontas gorge (from Vytina to Elati).

Lunch at a traditional tavern in the region.

Shortly before returning to the hotel, experience a “journey to the centre of the earth” by visiting the spectacular Kapsia caves...

 

 

    

Day 4

TRIPOLI-MOUNT PARNONAS-ANO DOLIANA-TRIPOLI

 

Breakfast at the hotel and departure for the mountain range of Parnonas.

Short trek next to the clear green waters of the Lepida river.

Our trek also includes a low difficulty hike (scrambling), next to the Lepida waterfalls, so that we can see the Castle of Oria.

Next, we stop for lunch in the traditional settlement of Doliana. There we can visit the Equestrian Club and ride horses in the lush green paths of Parnonas.

Return to the hotel in Tripoli for overnight stay.
