Itinerary description
The point of the river where you should definitely pay attention to is the dam. It's a small earthfill dam, which leaves a few meters on the left for the water to pass. The rapid that was formed was way too strong for us (something like Class IV!). So we carried our kayak over the dam on its right side.
You can complete the whole route in one day but we did it in two short days because we wanted to wild camp next to the river. You can reach the launch and exit points by any type of car. Just before reaching the sea, there is another great exit point on the left, which is right next to the road and it has a ramp. We preferred to paddle a little bit in the sea too.

Rapids Camp
There are nice places to wild camp around Tempi but that's just the beginning of the route.

Thick Vegetation Camp
It's nothing special because this area is full of fields, so it's not a very idyllic and remote place to wild camp. However, this place is quiet and it has some space for a tent. If you are there at the right season, you will also see plenty of fireflies!
