🌊 A summer adventure… in the river
There are routes that are simply walked… and there are those that you live entirely in the water. 💧
COMBO invites you to a unique river trekking experience in the enchanting North Evia and the impressive Bolovinaina Gorge. A hidden natural passage through dense forests, vertical cliffs and icy waters.
A route full of dives, narrow passages, natural ledges and summer energy, ideal for those who want to experience something different, refreshing and absolutely wild. 🌿🌊
The crossing starts from the narrow entrance of the gorge with imposing walls that reach 50 meters and continues in the bed of the Nilea River, where at several points we will need to swim to continue our journey.
And of course…
the day ends with a relaxing swim and lunch at the beach of Agia Anna. ☀️🏖️
📖 The Story
The Bolovinaina Gorge or Arapi Gorge is a small but impressive gorge, hidden in the lush forests of northern Evia.
The Nileas River crosses it and its total length reaches approximately 1,400 meters.
According to the legend of the area, during the Turkish occupation, many villagers had hidden in a cave inside the gorge. When a girl, Bolovinaina, went out and was noticed by the Turks, she preferred to fall off the cliff rather than be captured.
Today, the gorge is one of the most special hidden gems destinations in Evia for those who love nature, water and exploration.
Another Sunday… Made by COMBO.
