River trekking Literally is the hiking through the riverbed so, that means games and dives in the water and one hidden paradise on the deeps of the river.
The Kourtaliotiko gorge is very long and consist of two parts, the first part from its famous springs until the middle and the second part from the middle of the gorge until the exit.
