An activity accessible to all and very well managed by Manolis. He shared his passion for this beautiful region and gave us lots of interesting information. The route includes the island of Diaporos and two of its magnificent beaches. A break for swimming, photos and snacks (fresh fruit and local specialties) is included.

This tour was amazing! Our guides, Julia and Michelle were awesome. Very friendly and helpful. They not only gave us instructions on how to maneuver the kayak but shared fun historical facts throughout the entire trip. The landscape and wildlife on the river were amazing! I highly recommend this trip.

We had such a fantastic trip today in the sea kayaks. Our guide Manolis was lovely and full of interesting island facts. The water is crystal clear with beautiful beaches, and we found an amazing underwater world while snorkelling seeing starfish, all sorts of fish, and even an octopus. Highly recommended 👌 Thank you for a wonderful day 😁

We did the full day trip with the kayaks and were totally thrilled . Great weather, great guide who also conveyed a lot of interesting information and great snacks and food. That's all you can expect. As a tip this makes in the week on the weekend are unfortunately very many boats on the way and it is a bit overcrowded
