What you'll do

Overview

Enjoy a week in the stunning Greek islands, and experience one of the most climate friendly watersports available!

This itinerary operates from Saturday to Saturday.

This is a truly unique adventure, as you will experience being so close to the water, moving almost silently as you manoeuvre your kayak along the coast and many coves.

There is no other activity that provides you with the flexibility and freedom to hop ashore almost anywhere to explore the coastline and beaches, have a swim, snorkel, experience close encounters with wildlife and nature, sea kayaking is truly a unique and safe activity. 

The waters around the beach of Askeli and Saronic Gulf around Poros around provide the ideal location to learn sea kayaking. Also as a starting point for the experienced kayakers, this place is ideally suited for discovery trips along the beautiful coastline of Poros with its beautiful beaches and clear, turquoise blue, seas.

You’ll be able to access secluded beaches, spend time relaxing on stunning Greek islands and make memories to last a lifetime!

*From price based on two people sharing an apartment. For larger groups or solo travellers please enquire directly to hello@nitgb.com
