You have an exciting day full of adventures ahead of you! In the morning you’ll go rafting in the National Park of Vikos. This is an easy rafting expedition through the beautiful landscape of the park. Return to Papigo for your next excursion, which will be a horseback ride on the scenic paths around the town.

After today’s activities, you’ll want to relax in the evening at one of the local restaurants.

Get ready for a unique, unforgettable experience today, since you will explore the spectacular Aoos river in an absolutely different and fun way! Just north of Papigo and Mt Tymfi, lies the scenic canyon of Aoos, run by Aoos river and surrounded by majestic mountains, such as Smolikas and Tymfi mountains.

Our activity will start from Konitsa old bridge, which will captivate your eyes! A 45min hike parallel to the river will take us to the beginning of the via ferrata. Two bridges will cross our path, a small one in Gravos of 6-7m length, and a longer one, Aoo’s thibetan, 17m long and 35m high! Several impressive climbs follow, on steel ladders and a vertical rock, 60-70m above water. About half-way we will find some hiking trails, boasting beautiful scenic landscapes and we will end up back at the historic bridge of Konitsa.

Today you will unfortunately have to say goodbye to this wonderful, pristine part of Greece! But before you do so, we will take you to a nearby well-kept gem. Just 10min walk from Papigo village lies a gorgeous small canyon, Rogovos. The stream running down the canyon forms some beautiful natural pools around the unique rock formations. In summertime, you may even dare to dive in the freezing waters!

We will then depart for our trip back to Athens (approx. 5.5 hrs drive), which you will reach early in the evening (around 18:00pm). We will drop you off at your hotel and you will have the evening free to enjoy the city the way you wish.

This morning, after breakfast at your hotel, you will enjoy a guided walking tour of Athens city and the archaeological site of Acropolis, a UNESCO Worldwide Heritage Site and the landmark of Athens. You will meet your tour guide in the morning at a designated meeting point and join a superb historical tour.

Entering on the south slope of the Acropolis, you’ll visit the Dionysus Sanctuary and Dionysus Theater before you walk up the slope leading to the Acropolis monuments. Panoramic views of the city and insight information in Athens’ ancient history will complete your wonderful active holiday in Greece!
