These trips use the rocky coast as the playground: you swim, snorkel, climb out on the rocks and jump back into the sea from the height you choose. Our certified guides show you lower and higher spots, so each person sets their own limit.

Which trips do we offer?

  • Cliff diving and snorkelling at Varkiza: about 2.5 to 3 hours on the Athens Riviera, starting from a diving centre at Agia Marina. Optional jumps from 3 to 6 metres and plenty of snorkelling. Fins, mask, snorkel, wetsuit and photos and video are included.
  • Coasteering at Cape Sounio: a 4 km route along the coast below Sounio, taking 3 to 5 hours depending on the group. It adds sea caves and rappelling, with optional jumps from 1 to 14 metres.
  • Private cliff diving and snorkelling boat trip: about 4 hours on a private RIB from Varkiza for families, couples and small groups, visiting islets such as Pothitos, Arsida, Pontikonisi and Fleves when the weather allows. Jumps range from 2 to 14 metres.

Which one should you choose?

Pick Varkiza if snorkelling matters as much as jumping, or if you are new to this. Choose Sounio for the most physical day, with longer swims, scrambling and the highest jumps. The private boat is best if you want your own group, your own pace and spots that you cannot reach from the shore.

What do you need to take part?

Basic swimming skills are essential, and you should feel at ease in open water. You do not need any jumping experience. Sounio asks for moderate fitness. On the private boat, children above 10 can join with parental supervision, and we confirm the age limit of the other trips when you book.

What should you bring?

Swimwear, a towel, water shoes and dry clothes to change into. Neoprene boots can be rented at Varkiza. Transport to Sounio is not included, but we can help you arrange it.

When is the season?

Varkiza runs from March to November, the private boat from April to November, and Sounio is at its best from May to September, when the water is warmest. If the sea is not safe, you choose a new date or a refund of your deposit.
