Description

Unforgettable waterfall adventure for all the family. Breathtaking nature and lots of fun snorkeling in crystal clear spring water of the Kourtaliotiko Gorge.
Starting point is Dive2gether diving school in Plakias. Here you will meet the guide(s) and other participants and you will fit a wetsuit, mask and snorkel. All this equipment will be packed in big rucksacks with enough space to add your personal belongings. You will need to bring:
1. a towel,
2. water shoes and
3. small water bottle which you can refill at the springs.

Before we leave for the Kourtaliotiko Gorge one of the guides will show you a video of the trip, so you are well prepared before we leave the shop. There is a service of safe keeping your valuables in the shop. Our guides take a professional underwater camera and make pictures of the full tour in and out of the water. Finally, you will be asked to visit the toilet and fill your water bottles before we go.

Using the diving school's vans our driver will drive us to the Kourtaliotiko Gorge and drop us off at the staircase of 300+ concrete steps bringing us to a beautiful Greek chapel and finally to the bottom of the gorge where we enter the water.
Because of the many steps this trip is not recommended for people that have knee problems.

At water level we put on our wetsuits, take our masks and snorkels out of the bag and put on our water shoes. We will put our dry clothes in the bags and leave those bags unattended as we continue our trip through the water. Walking through hip-deep water along the side of the river we reach the first water springs and get a chance to drip fresh spring water straight from the spring!! Amazing experience!
Further on we reach the 'laguna' where many waterfalls make for a unique nature and lush natural wonder. A great picture moment!! ;-)
Here is where we offer a crash course in snorkelling, explaining how a wetsuit does not only keep us warm, it also offer us float. Mask and snorkel are tested for proper function.
In the deeper water our guide will attach a safety floating swimmers’ line, so all feel safe and comfortable. We swim, splash and have a great time amongst the amazing waterfalls. When we get too cold, we go out of the water and into the sun and enjoy the fresh fruits the guide brought. Then it's time to head back to our pick-up station.
Once back at the diving school we watch the pictures which you may choose to purchase for an additional charge.

This will be an adventure you will never forget!! ☼
