Voidomatis: The Cleanest River in Europe? The Old Bridge of Klidonia


Certainly one of the most beautiful!

Η ονομασία του Βοϊδομάτη προέρχεται από τις σλαβικές λέξεις voda (= νερό) και mati (= πηγή), και όχι από την καθιερωμένη παρετυμολογία βόιδι δηλ. βόδι και μάτι (μάτι του βοδιού) - Wikipedia.



























Last year we enjoyed a wonderful rafting experience.
Highly recommended,
but it's cold without a wet-suit!

Regrettably, it's a different story with the River Kalamas:

    The water is truly wonderful and clear. Rafting is a great way to appreciate this great resource and so far despite huge numbers of rafts going downstream towards Klidonia it seems their environmental impact is still low. Lets pray it stays that way. Hope you are well and I do hope we get to meet up again soon...AND have a jam!

    Thanks Peter. You're right to be concerned about the increase in the number of rafting boats. Let's hope there is only limited impact and development.
    All well with us. I haven't picked up my guitar or harmonica for a long time; been busy writing short stories (to be published in September), title "This Spinning World" (Colenso Books).
    Hope we do meet up soon, all best wishes, Jim
