Sea kayaking

Guided sea kayak tours to the sea caves of the Athens Riviera, to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio, at Anavyssos, Vravrona and Porto Rafti, at sunset from Kavouri beach in Vouliagmeni, and on the Gulf of Corinth. No experience needed, but you must be able to swim.

A kayak takes you to parts of the coast you cannot see from the road: sea caves, small coves and quiet stretches of shore. Our certified guides teach you the basic strokes before you set off, so these tours suit first-timers as well as people who have paddled before.

Where do our sea kayak tours go?

  • Athens Riviera sea caves: a 3 to 4 hour tour from Agios Dimitrios beach to the sea caves of the Riviera, with snorkelling gear and photos included. Rated easy.
  • Cape Sounio: our longest day, about 6 hours with around 4 hours and 7 km of paddling from Legrena or Sounio beach towards the Temple of Poseidon. Snacks, fruit and water are included.
  • Vravrona: about 4 hours on the east coast of Attica, with roughly 2.5 hours and 5 km of paddling past the Vravrona wetland and the area of the Temple of Artemis.
  • Porto Rafti: a similar 4 hour tour in the bay of Porto Rafti, also offered as an afternoon sunset paddle.
  • Anavyssos: a 4 hour paddle to sea caves and a hidden beach on the southern Riviera, with a picnic lunch.
  • Gulf of Corinth: a half day from Alkyonidos beach near the Corinth Canal to the Seal Cave and hidden coves, with snorkelling and a picnic.
  • Sunset at Kavouri: a 2 hour evening paddle of about 2.5 km from Kavouri beach in Vouliagmeni, with snorkelling gear and photos included. A transfer from Athens can be added.

Do you need experience?

No. Every tour starts with a short paddling lesson on the beach, and single or double kayaks are available. You do need to be able to swim. Children paddle with a parent or guardian, usually in a double kayak.

Which tour should you choose?

For a first try close to the city, pick the sea caves tour or Porto Rafti. Vravrona is good for a quieter, nature-focused morning. Choose Sounio if you want a full, more demanding day with a famous view at the end, and the Kavouri sunset tour if you only have an evening free.

What is included and what should you bring?

The kayak, paddle, life jacket and safety gear are included on every tour, and the guide carries a first aid kit. Bring swimwear, a towel, a hat, sun cream and water. The entrance fee to the archaeological site at Sounio is not included.

What if it is windy?

Start points can change with the wind. If it is not safe to paddle, you choose a new date or a refund of your deposit.
