Our kayak adventure was one of the best highlights from our trip to Greece. The guide picked up me and my family (husband plus two teen sons) right on time and we rode comfortably in a van to the coast. Once we arrived, two more guides got us settled into our kayaks and we loved paddling around the beautiful coastline. The best part was a dip into the Aegean Sea while we took a rest before paddling back to the restaurant. The restaurant sits right on the water and when we pulled in, we saw the owner singing to the sea gulls - such a unique experience. Our guide ordered the best food imaginable - delicious dips for the bread, fish, octopus and much, much more. It was delicious and a fun adventure! The temple of Poseidon was the cherry on top! We returned to Athens with a little traffic but polite conversation with our guide helped pass the time. This trip exceeded all expectations and we enjoyed every minute and left with great memories.

Absolutely incredible. The guides were wonderful, knowledgeable, and fun. The food was amazing and the experience overall is indescribable. Probably the best thing I did while in Athens.

We had the most incredible day! Natalie picked us up from our hotel, she was so friendly and kind, and went the extra mile to make sure we had an enjoyable journey and were looked after. Ares was our kayaking guide and he was very helpful and kind! We were basically beginners so he was very patient and took us right below the temple of Poseidon - amazing! We had a little break at a small beach then kayaked back, then Natalie took us up to the temple and took lots of photos for us. We came down and had the most delicious seafood dinner while the sun was setting. This is such a once-in-a-lifetime experience, we would highly recommend it!
