Frequently asked questions

What does Class I rafting actually feel like?
Class I is the entry level of the international rafting scale. Expect a steady current, occasional ripples, and no significant drops or obstacles. You'll feel the pull of the river, but you won't be fighting it. It's a controlled introduction to moving water, not a survival test.
Is this suitable for people who have never rafted before?
Yes. The Class I rating and "Occasionally sporty" physical level are specifically designed for beginners and families. No prior rafting experience is required. The 1.5h duration keeps the commitment short without cutting the experience thin.
What's the most intense moment on this excursion?
On a Class I river, the sharpest sensation usually comes at the start when you first push off into the current, or when the raft accelerates through a narrow channel. Don't expect drops or big waves, but the Kiliaris River moves, and you'll feel it.
Is the excursion guided, and what languages are spoken?
Yes, it's a guided excursion. The operator conducts sessions in Greek and English, so communication is straightforward for most international participants.
