The Mythological Hike: Led by your expert local guide, you will not just hike, but follow in the footsteps of the ancients. Cross the historic Staircase of Tzabelaina, a path carved into the rocks, offering panoramic views of the Acheron Gorge. Learn the legends of the “River of Sorrows” and the entrance to the Underworld.

Rafting Adventure: with a certified private instructor, navigate the crystal clear waters. This is not just rafting, but a sensory experience in one of Europe’s most protected ecosystems. We adapt the pace to your comfort.

The Ritual of Epirotic Spirits: the culmination of your trip takes place in a selected restaurant. Forget the usual tastings. You will enjoy an elaborate ritual of Greek spirits. Taste rare, aged tsipouro, local ouzo and handcrafted liqueurs. Each spirit is perfectly paired with mezze from nearby mountain villages: aged cheeses, wild grass pies, local olives and extra virgin olive oil.
