Sea Kayaking

OVERVIEW

Paddle a kayak along the coast just south of Argostoli and take in the natural beauty that marks this part of the Paliki peninsula. After a briefing to ensure that you maximize the experience, you will ease into a kayak and paddle off into the Ionian Sea. The kayak will offer a unique water perspective of the shore, which is lined with craggy sea caves, beach-rimmed coves and limestone cliffs. All this and crystal-clear waters will make for an unforgettable adventure. The guide will describe the points of interest as you skirt along the shore. You will pass lengthy beaches such as Makris Gialos – which is exceptionally popular because of its proximity to Argostoli – and secluded beaches such as the one at White Rocks. The latter is named for the sheer limestone cliffs that make the beach inaccessible except by sea. You will eventually disembark on Spasmata Beach, yet another photogenic stretch of sand.
