Explore the beautiful Manikia Gorge on an exhilarating canyoning experience in Euboea from Athens!
Euboea, also known as Evia, is the second-largest Greek island, located along the eastern coast of mainland Greece in the Aegean Sea. Separated from the mainland by the Euboean Gulf, it is connected by the Chalkida Bridge, making it easily accessible from Athens. On this canyoning trip in Euboea, you can also choose to be picked up from your accommodation in Athens.
The adventure begins either by meeting the guide directly at the departure point in Manikia, a small village in Euboea, or with pick-up from your accommodation in Athens (please select your preference when booking). You'll travel to the canyoning departure point at Manikia Gorge, home to impressive waterfalls, limestone cliffs, wild streams, and dense vegetation. Your certified canyoning guides will provide the equipment (harness, lanyard, wet suit, and helmet), and go through a safety briefing and instructions for the excursion.
Then, the canyoning in Manikia Gorge begins! You'll traverse the mighty canyon by abseiling down waterfalls, diving into natural pools, and navigating through the gorge's dynamic landscape. The guide will help you throughout the excursion as you learn new techniques on a thrilling adventure! Before the grand finale, you'll practice abseiling down 3 short, amazing waterfalls. The canyoning experience in Euboea ends with an adventurous abseil down a 25-metre (82-foot) waterfall! Afterwards, if you choose the pick-up and picnic option when booking, you'll stop at a traditional tavern for a delicious Greek lunch, before being driven back to your accommodation in Athens.
