About this activity

Enjoy a great experience in the last wild River in Europe, VJOSA River! We depart early in the morning around 8:00 AM from Gjirokastra in a one hour and a half trip through a scenic road to Permet where our Rafting adventure will take part. After reaching the starting point and having a cup of coffee or a beverage we start the Adventure at 10:00 AM. Around 2 hours rafting in the waters of Vjosa we reach the city of Permet. Then we head towards the hot springs of Benje, but before reaching there we stop for lunch at a family place where we suggest you the fish of the local river (lunch at your own expense). After the delicious lunch we spend around two hours in the hot springs a nature monument in Albania (where except the thermal pools you have the option to take a short walk inside the Langarica canyon) and hit the road again towards Gjirokastra. This magnificent day ends around 5:00 PM in CercizTopulli square right where it began! (Hotel pickup is available)
