In 2024 we meet again with the magical island in the Aegean Sea!
Samothraki means a unique Greek experience where we combine adventure with island relaxation. During seven days we descend through the waterfalls of the most beautiful canyons of the island. We float through turquoise waters, slide down natural slides and capture landscapes that remain in the soul. The smell of rosemary, wild goats, centuries-old trees, the clear sea and the mountain with the temple of the gods transport you every time to an ancient and perhaps even mystical Greece.
We invite you to enjoy 7 days of adventure on one of the most beautiful islands of the Aegean Sea!
Choose to spend an active vacation, spiced up with the hidden paradise of the Greek canyons.
