White Water Rafting · Olympia
The essentials
One option, one clear answer: Olympia Adventure Club's family rafting on the Alpheus River costs 40 € per person and runs 3.5h. The physical level is "Everybody welcome", meaning kids, first-timers and non-swimmers can join without prior experience. The Alpheus is Greece's longest river and flows directly past Ancient Olympia, so the scenery matches the adrenaline. Book early in summer, the May-to-September season fills fast.
