1st Stop: Venetikos River and Bridge
Arrival Time: 11:00 (approx.)
Duration: 15 minutes (Stop for photos)
A river that flows between some of the larger rivers of Greece, connects the mountains of Epirus with the plains of Grevena and forms landscapes of great aesthetic value. Venetikos river is the largest tributary of the big Aliakmonas river and flows entirely in the prefecture of Grevena. It stems in the east of the prefecture from two streams that descend, one from the south-eastern slopes of Vasilitsa mountain and the north-east of Avgo mountain and the other from the south of the Taliaros hills. The two streams (Aspropotamos from the west and Dotsikiotiko from the north) meet in the gorge of Portitsa, between the villages Spilaio and Parorio, forming the original part of Venetikos. Just before their meeting the northern branch of the river is called Velonias. Venetikos then moves from west to east at a distance of 46 km. It flows south of Orliakas mountain and continues south of the city of Grevena, where at the main road connecting Grevena and Kalambaka flows between vertical rocks, the famous “Gates of Venetikos”.
