We begin our river ride at the Charokopi’s Bridge, after we get ourselves fully equipped with specialized rafting equipment. The canyon reaches 700 meters high in places and there is a moss-covered cliff-cave of astounding beauty and then the 14-meter high Klifki waterfall, where we can dive in the ice-cold waters. The ride ends after we pass below the impressive 20-meter high and 40 meters width one-arch Plaka Bridge, one of the most beautiful stone bridges in the Balkans, recently reconstructed after a catastrophic flash flood.
