In summertime, our adventure day starts from the arched Venetian bridge that was built by the monks of Preveli monastery in the 18th century. Walking in the riverbed, swimming and playing at the little waterfalls in the spectacular natural playground of the Kourtaliotis gorge, we participate in our most exhilarating activity with plenty of swimming, easy and short climbs and a lot of fun. The exit of the gorge offers an unforgettable picture, as the river comes out in the sea through the forest of palm trees. We have the opportunity to swim, either in the river or in the sea, before we continue to visit Preveli monastery (optional visit).
