Mylopotamos

verified ACA 4C1 II Low flood risk Xorichti, Mouresi, Magnesia

A short Pelion warm up with repeatable jumps and slides that finishes right at the sea below Mylopotamos beach.

The canyon arrives on the right at the chapel as you face the sea. From the upper parking take the descending piste on the right, which becomes a path leading to the canyon start. Exit is the staircase back up to the chapel. Ropewiki also links a second beta page at canyon.carto.net. Neither source publishes a best season. Limestone.

Logistics

PermitNo permit required. Ropewiki records Requires permits: No.
Distance1.24
Elevation591
TimeAbout 2.5 hr descent with a 20 min approach and a 10 min exit. Ropewiki lists 3 hr typical.
TechnicalACA 4C1 II (v4a4 III). Minimum 25 m rope in single; biggest waterfall 17 m. Good setting with several enjoyable jumps and slides that can be repeated, and a very pretty arrival at the sea. Descente-canyon calls it low commitment and a good way to get the legs going.
Flood riskCommitment is low, but the a4 aquatic rating on ropewiki means real moving water rather than a trickle. Cancel on rain over the Pelion ridge above the beach.
Vehicle access3 km shuttle. Leave one car at the Mylopotamos beach parking, then drive 3.1 km back up the road and take a climbing piste on the left, continuing to a property with orange walls.
