Hiking – Kayaking

Kayak Hike Granitsiotis Gorge - Acheloo - Kremaston Lake

The Granitsiotis river originates under the "Kalogeros" peak of the Western Agrafa mountains. Due to the high rocks, narrow passages, caves, dense vegetation it acquired an eerie appearance and preserved an unadulterated natural beauty. We will initially start the hike high up in the Granitsiotis canyon through a holly forest, we reach a point where  Acheloos and Granitsiotis rivers meet and a where a small delta with a sandy beach is.

At the point of the Evrytos climbing field we descend low into the gorge. We continue for about 200m. where we find our kayaks on a beach. Then we will continue with a water route through Granitsiotis to Acheloos with its intense blue color, where countless wild goats quench their thirst.

The slopes are covered with lush vegetation and near the river there are stands of aquatic trees, plane trees, poplars, willows. Also a few small half-abandoned villages project on the surrounding slopes.

On the way to the narrows of Acheloos we will find a small beach with plane trees where we will take a break to relax. We continue to Kremaston Lake admiring the majesty of nature, its wonderful fjords and its small islands.
