Canyoning, Camping & Sea Kayak in the Aegean (Central Evia) 18-19/5

Join us for a two-day adventure with canyoning in the Petali Gorge, overnight on the beach and kayaking to Chiliadou (one of the most famous and beautiful beaches of Evia)

• Canyoning in the Petali Gorge
• Sea kayak in the Aegean (Petali – Vythuri – Damianos - Chiliadou)

Our program:

DAY 1: Saturday 18-05-2024

Meeting Time: 10.00 at Sepolia Metro Station

Activity: CANYONING IN PETALI

A stone's throw from bustling Athens (about 2 hours) is the gorge of Petali, which ends at the beach of the same name.

The gorge is well hidden in dense vegetation which, combined with its very narrow walls, make it shady throughout its length. We walk between narrow, impressive stone volumes and formations, canyoning down waterfalls up to 10 meters high and enjoy this rare beauty until we face the deep blue waters of the Aegean, where the brave can enjoy diving and swimming!

At this time the canyon is dry, which makes it ideal for those who want to experience canyoning, even for the first time!

Highlights:

• Various shifts in the "jungle" of Central Evia.
• Unique combination of abseiling and hiking techniques, as it involves quite a bit of walking inside the canyon thanks to its long length.
• A canyon of wild beauty, with narrow walls and large stone formations in dense vegetation that ends in the deep blue waters of the Aegean.

Technical Information about the Gorge:

• Number of descents: 6
• Maximum descent: 10 meters
• Distance: 3km
• Also suitable for beginners with moderate fitness.

DAY 2: Sunday 19-05-2024

Activity: SEA KAYAK IN THE AEGEAN

This route is probably the most beautiful route in Evia that you could do Sea Kayaking. Why; Because it will lead us from one enchanting beach to another. We will pass by the exotic beauty of Bythouri, which is rarely encountered, to Trianisia on Kokkinia beach, which reminds of an exotic-tropical place. We will discover the impressive beach of Germanos (Livadakia) and Damianos with its mysterious cave, as well as the indescribable beauty of Chiliados. And all this next to many small and large caves and gorges that meet the blue sea.

Highlights:

• We visit some of the most beautiful beaches of the island (Petali, Bythouri, Trianisia, Kokkinia, Germanou, Damianos, Chiliadou)
• Caves, steep rocks and sandy beaches.

Technical information:

• Duration: 6 hours
• Distance: 18 km.
• Difficulty: easy/moderate

The long-hour activity of Kayaking requires good coordination with the couple who will be paddling in the same kayak and not so much endurance and strength. A moderate physical condition is enough.
