A bit more about the experience:
We will be a small group of women sharing the adventure of a 5-day kayak journey, at one with nature, on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Greek coastline. We use high quality double kayaks which are very sturdy and easy to paddle. Each double kayak has packing space for your clothing, food and camping gear. All safety equipment and dry bags are provided. You need to be of moderate fitness to enjoy the trip, but don’t have to be a super hero, nor do you need to have prior paddling experience. We will use the first afternoon before we set off to get comfortable and competent in the kayaks.
Typically, after breakfast each morning we paddle for a few hours and in the afternoon take a break to swim, fish, snorkel, swing in hammocks, read, sleep in the shade, have lunch and just relax. Once the heat of the day has passed we paddle the second leg to our destination for the night. Some evenings we will wild-camp, pitch our tents, cook under the stars and chat around the campfire until bed-time, other nights we will stay in small Greek hotels and eat at the local Greek Tavernas – the food is gorgeous and fresh and healthy, and above all delicious, especially after a day on the water.
Other highlights also include a visit to the church ‘Of our Lady of the Sweet Kisses’ in Petra, walking the cobblestone lanes of ancient Molyvos and sundowners at Congas beach bar. You can also look forward to a massage and a soak in the ancient hot springs at Eftalou and to spending a relaxed afternoon in magical Skala Sikamnea with its quaint fisherman’s port. We will end the trip in Mytilini, for a final muscle soak in the mineral-rich thermal baths of Mytilini before our last supper at a local Greek Taverna.
The true highlights of the trip are really to be found in moments of absolute peace and quiet on the mirror still water, the feelings of well-being after a day of kayaking and enjoying a well-earned meal in the company of new-found friends, falling asleep to the gentle sound of the sea and waking to the sun rising over the water. It is the stuff dreams are made of….
