The raft cuts through a corridor of green—willows and plane trees bowing low until they form a leafy tunnel. Sunlight dapples the water; the current tugs, coaxing you forward. A guide calls cadence, paddles bite, and the raft surges through a sequence of class II rapids where the river narrows and the rocks make their presence known. This is Lousios: a compact, dramatic gorge in Arcadia where history and whitewater meet.
