For some, the dilemma of mountain or sea for summer holidays is non-negotiable. However, there are many who change their minds when they learn better how many experiences you can live on the mountain, and you do not know it. For example, bathing in rivers. In crystal-clear waters, with plane trees around, giving a mythical dimension.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There, on their crystal clear banks, you will not dive into warm waters, but a spring may gush next to you directly from the mountain without you even knowing it. If you are a little adventurous and like new experiences, swimming in a river is definitely one that will be unforgettable. The exploringgreece.tv <\/strong><\/a>suggests swimming in four of the most beautiful rivers in Greece. One of them is among the cleanest rivers in Europe.<\/p>\n

Aoos River<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In the background, the breathtaking bridge of Konitsa in the prefecture of Ioannina stands, and the river Aoos is full of spots for swimming and diving. You will find these openings on an extended route to the Monastery of Stomio, with plane trees around you and overlooking the top of Gamila. It is not easy to describe in words what a unique experience it is to swim in running water, drowned in different shades of green.<\/p>\n
