Nestos Schlucht mit eigenem Boot / Camping am Nestos

Wir wollen in unserem diesjährigen Urlaub in Griechenland auch die Nestosschlucht besuchen.
Da wir einen eigenen Canadier besitzen, wollte ich fragen, ob man die Schlucht auch ohne Veranstalter durchfahren darf?
Mir geht es rein um den rechtlichen Aspekt, mit dem Hintergrund, dass es sich um ein Naturreservat handelt.
Kennt jemand einen geeigneten Camingplatz am Fluss Nestos oder in der Nähe.

Hier findest Du vielleicht schon, was Du suchst: Artikel auf eBay oder versuchs hier bei Amazon

Ich glaube kaum, dass da irgend eine Vorschrft wirksam ist

Von Toxotes, am untern Ende geht ein Zug, in Stavroupoli aussteigen. wie du aber zum Einstieg/Flussbrücke kommst, weiss ich auch nicht.

Auf der Strecke hat es nur wenige Bummler-Züge die an beiden Orten anhalten. Der einzige "Beamte" in Toxotes sprach nur wenig englisch, war aber sehr hlifsreich, er kann dir dann auch sagen WANN ein solcher Bummler fährt. Normalerweise ist das die Schnellzug-Strecke Alexandropolis-Athen.
Wir waren in der Nebensaison dort, da habe ich auf dem ganzen Fluss keinen Menschen gesehen.


For river canoeing in Greece, one of the finest locations is the Nestos River, which forms the border between the Greek region of Macedonia and Greek Thrace, and which flows through some 22,230 acres (9000 hectares) of beautiful protected forest land.

The river begins in Bulgaria and enters Greece north of the city of Dhrama, near the Stavroupoli villages; it empties into the sea to the east of the port city of Kavala (the last big town in Greek Macedonia).

In the village of Toxotes, to the east of the river mouth one can arrange canoe trips on the Nestos with various tourist agencies, which provide equipment and guides.

Wildlife, including rich birdlife and mammals such as otters, can be enjoyed along with the forest and rich green foliage along the Nestos, making a canoe journey on this river one of luxurious pleasure for the nature lover.

The river can also be explored by kayak, on foot, or from the train window, the river gorge between Paranesti and Xanthi being the most dramatic stretch.

The railway station of the abandoned village of Livera has been turned into a hostel, where serious trekkers can find overnight accommodation. Trekkers can hook up with the European E 6 trail at the village of Leivaditis, which leads to a beautiful waterfall in the Rhodopi mountain range which forms the border between Greece and Bulgaria to the north.

The town of Paranesti has a good Natural History Museum with specimens of mammals found in these mountains, as well as flora, fossils, and rock samples.

There's also a good folk culture museum in Stavroupoli. Many outdoor activities are offered by tourist agencies in this beautiful area. The city of Xanthi, westernmost town of any size in Greek Thrace, has a fascinating Old Town, with Ottoman style houses with overhanging second stories, beautiful cobbled streets, mosques and Orthodox Greek churches, and in general, marvelous local color, with a mixed population where one hears Greek, Bulgarian, Turkish and Romany in the streets.

For those exploring the region in September, there is a week long annual festival with traditional Thracian and Macedonian live music and dance that fills the streets of the Old Town every night with crowds of revellers.
