This exceptional canyon owes its name to a specific area which does not exceed a length of 80 meters. There the icy waters, which come from the steep mountain of Kaliakouda, in their attempt to become one with the waters of the river Krikelioti find an outlet from sources on the tops of the canyon creating beautiful waterfalls. However, their flow is not contiguous and compact, due to their great height. To the contrary, it breaks down into a wide radius to both small and large drops, creating a continuous artificial rain. The result is a breathtaking scenery! To reach the canyon you can choose between three routes. In all of them a certain distance must be crossed by car- a jeep is the ideal choice. After that you hike into the river to reach the Pantavrechi area. Rafting from noveber to may River rafting with an inflatable boat is a really fun and memorable experience. The rafting crew consists of 6 to 12 rowers in each boat which is directed by a professional river guide. To those who will do it for the first time we propose rivers with little difficulty while the more experienced rowers can try difficult rivers. The prerequisites are swimming skills, mental and physical health. Equipment You must have with you a bathing suit, a spare pair of shoes, a T-shirt and a towel.
