River Trekking and Hiking in Manikiati

River Trekking in Manikiatis Gorge | June 1st, 2025 | Waterfalls, Swimming & Nature in Evia

Escape to the wild side of Evia with an unforgettable river trekking experience through Manikiatis Gorge. On Sunday, June 1st, 2025, Wanderlust Outdoor Activities invites you to explore one of Greece’s hidden natural wonders — a stunning gorge full of waterfalls, clear river pools, and epic rock formations.

The Route

We begin with a short warm-up hike on a dirt road before entering the riverbed for a guided river trekking adventure. The terrain alternates between lush greenery, rocky paths, and shallow flowing water. The highlight of the day is the impressive 25-meter waterfall, surrounded by towering cliffs that reveal why the Manikia region has become a world-class climbing destination, with over 450 official climbing routes attracting climbers from around the globe.

Participants will also have the option to swim in natural river pools beneath the waterfall — a refreshing and immersive way to connect with nature.

 After the Trek

Our day concludes with a traditional Greek meal at Taverna “Vrysi”, set in a green, tranquil environment. Vegetarian options are available upon request to suit all dietary preferences.

Right next to the taverna, the charming shop “Kalimera” offers local products, sweets, and coffee for those who want to take home a taste of Evia.

What You Should Know

This activity is suitable for participants with moderate physical condition and some prior hiking experience. The route includes multiple sections of walking directly in the river, so proper footwear is essential. Amphibious shoes are highly recommended, but waterproof trail or athletic shoes can also work — just be prepared to get them wet.

Participants should be in moderate physical condition, with no recent injury and not participating in hiking for the first time. We will also need to hike through the river several times. Amphibious shoes are most suitable for this route, otherwise a sports or hiking shoe is better knowing that it will get wet.
