Overview
Program code: M09
Towards the end of the 19th century, the railway connecting Toxotes to Stavroupoli was constructed. It was a magnificent project of vital importance for the connection between Europe and the East. Multiple tunnels were created along the banks of river Nestos, as well as a beautiful stone trail along the river to facilitate the transportation of goods and people. This stone trail over the tunnels is ideal for a rejuvenating hike before we get into the tranquil waters of the river on our kayaks.

We meet at 9.00am at the Riverland base in Toxotes. The Nestos Gorge trail starts from the recreational area of Galani and continues along the river, either crossing through the breathtaking riverside forest or climbing up the carved rocks over the railway tunnels. After a two-hour hike with a short break in-between, we arrive close to the Kromniko railway station where our kayaks await.
