Balkan rafting safari 2 a combined program between the canyon of Osumi River in Albania and the river Aracthus (2 parts of it) in Greece.
Day one: we leave Sofia early in the morning. Our route is about 500km, passing by Skopie, near Ohrid Lake, and on our way we enjoy the beautiful scenery. In Albania a lot of bunkers can be seen, monuments from the communist period. In the evening we arrive in the town close to the river and we stay in a hotel.
Day two: after we had some rest we go to the canyon of Osumi River, which is about 15km. This is the most beautiful canyon in the Balkans, and in some places it is so narrow that a raft can hardly pass. Rocks with height 40-50 metres soar above the river, and during the rafting we pass by 15-20 beautiful waterfalls. The rafting ends in the centre of the town, close to the hotel. In the afternoon we have time to relax and to feel the town atmosphere. The accommodation is in a hotel.
Day three: transfer from Albania to Greece, accomodation in tents in a campground on the river bank or in the nearby hotel.
Day four: transfer to the canyon of Arachthos River. We equip ourselves for the rafting and get into the river. The river grade is about 3+, and during the rafting we go through many rapids with different profiles and difficulty. We stop for a break and take pictures of a beautiful waterfall. Accommodation in tents in a campground or hotel.
Day five: In case the river level is enough we will do rafting trip on the second part of Arachthos river, which is very adventurous and beautiful. In case the river level is low, we can make a rafting trip on Vicos river or a hiking tour in Vicos canyon. After the activity for the day, we pack our luggage and head to Sofia, where we arrive in the evening.
Recommended period: May-October.
Level of difficulty: we recommend you to have tried rafting on some rivers in Bulgaria or out of it.
