Sea Kayaking along coastal areas of Crete
Sea kayaking offers the perfect combination of intense individual action, adventure, and sense of freedom.
Paddling against the waves, exploring the rocky coast and sea caves, basking in the quiet moments in remote hidden beaches, and enjoying contact with the sea are just some of the countless beautiful moments that you will experience with this form of escapism. This experience is particularly enchanting if your destination is one of the many exotic beaches around Crete.
With extensive knowledge of every aspect of the island’s 1000-km-long coastline, we have chosen some of the most fascinating sea routes to explore Crete by kayak. These routes are marked by the incomparable beauty of the landscape and the lack of strong winds and big waves, making them ideal locations for kayaking.
Participating conditions
√ All our programs for this summer cater to small groups (depending on the program) with high-quality, two-seater, “sit-in” folding kayaks, or two-seater “sit-on-top” rigid kayaks.
√ No experience is required for programs based on “sit-on-top” rigid kayaks, while a good experience is required for paddling on “sit-in” folding kayaks.

Biking tours
Crete is an ideal destination for bike lovers.
