Full description

Your trip starts at Kardamyli’s old harbor. Before departure, you will be briefed on some details including kayak paddling techniques and safety measures. Soon, you'll get into your kayak and begin paddling at a relaxed pace giving you time to take in the beautiful surroundings. Each cove hides a special surprise such as hidden sea caves, rock gardens, cliffs with spectacular rock formations, and hidden sandy beaches. One of the top attractions on this trip is a visit to the Blue Cave, a spectacular natural phenomenon where sunlight passes through a crack in the cave and reflects on the seafloor, bathing the entire cave in aquamarine light. A swim into the cave is a once in a lifetime experience. Weather and time permitting, you may head to Stoupa for a stop at the beach of Kalogria with its fine golden sand and turquoise waters. Halfway, stop for some swimming, snorkeling and a picnic with freshly baked bread, organic fruits and vegetables, homemade olive oil, and cheese. Once the lunch stop is over, you'll paddle back to the starting point to end this fun, adventurous day.

This was a fun and exceptionally well organised trip. George, our guide, knows his stuff and is excellent at giving you kayaking tips and making you feel secure. He pitched the pace really well so that it felt enjoyable. We loved the feeling of adventure and the places we visited were surprising and absolutely stunning. George filled us in on the history and culture of the area and we felt like we learned a lot. The picnic lunch was fresh and delicious. It was great receiving an album of photos to record our exciting experience but best of all are our memories. Thank you George. You are a friendly and knowledgeable guide and this was definitely a standout event during our Greek holiday. Definitely value for money.

Wir haben im September an einer Sea Kajaking Tour bei Kardamili teilgenommen. Under Guide, George, hat unsere klein Gruppe exzellent vorbereitet und während der Tour betreut. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaße beim Paddeln, Schwimmen in der Blue Cave, dem leckeren Picknick und Georges Infos über die Region. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, das definitiv weiterzuempfehlen ist.

This was a friendly, organized and surprisingly pleasurable experience from start to finish. George, the owner, is also one of two guides and he immediately makes you confident with an entertaining basic-skills class. Everyone gets involved and his enthusiasm is infectious. And rightly so, the area is beautiful and seeing it from the perspective of a kayak is worth it. Your route includes well-timed rest points which brings everyone together and lets George, who is a local, point out everything from geology to local history. Then you see the Blue Caves and you'll never forget the experience. Always under the watchful eye of your guides, the trip includes a tasty lunch on a small beach followed by a leisurely paddle back, right on schedule. Excellent. And then you get the photos they took. Wow
