Mourgani, or Ion river. A pretty unknown and rarely paddled river, which had become a myth amongst Greek paddlers. Its remoteness and known difficulties, greater than most of Greek rivers, together with its very short running period, usually discourage paddlers from it. But the wild beauty of this creek, as it was captured in the "Wall Fall" photograph in "Greco" guidebook, had been stuck in our minds, from the very first time we saw it, back at the intermediate school days.

Two years later, with the experience of paddling many class IV rivers as a team, we decided to include Mourgani in our scheduled runs for the spring of 2002. We knew that it would be difficult, hard and challenging, but that was why we were doing this sport, for the challenge and the adventure of it.
The team should be small and well trained and in readiness, as the sweet spot in time, would be very short in this case. We scheduled to go for it during Easter vacation, but the much expected rain came a week earlier.
