What's it like?

Kayak through Greek mythology on the wild and untamed coastline of the Peloponnese

Paddle past sea turtles to the white sand beach of Voidokoilia. Take a dip and snorkel its turquoise waters

Camp on the remote island of Sfaktiria and munch on a traditional Greek dinner cooked over the campfire

Key Information

Day 1

Fly in, meet your crew, eat out in Kalamata

Meet your guide at the airport and transfer to your accommodation in Kalamata.

Check in, get settled, then enjoy a delicious light dinner while gazing out over the Mediterranean.

Day 2

Kayak along the coast and camp under the stars

Your kayaks await you on the beach. Review safety and skills, then embark on a day of adventure along the coast, paddling past secluded coves and keeping an eye out for sea turtles.

Your first stop is Voidokoilia, one of the best beaches in Greece. Spend some time there swimming and snorkeling in the turquoise waters. In the afternoon you'll hike up to Navarino Castle for incredible views over the bay.

Walk back to the beach via Gialova Lagoon, a wetland that serves as an important migratory bird hotspot. You might see egrets, herons, sandpipers, osprey, harriers and more.

Finish the day with a paddle to Sfaktiria, a remote island and your home for the night. Camp on the beach, cook a traditional Greek dinner, and indulge in a glass of wine beneath the night sky.

Day 3

Explore the waters around Fanari and then head home

Wake up in a Mediterranean paradise and enjoy a fresh breakfast. Today you'll paddle south along the island’s coast to Fanari - a tiny islet boasting a rock arch and numerous sea caves.

Spend the rest of the morning swimming, snorkeling and cliff jumping in the beautiful coves of the islet.

Finish the trip with a quick paddle to the mainland. A car will meet you in Pilos for your transfer back to the airport.

What is the food like?

Greek food is fresh and flavorful. Common dishes include Greek salad, moussaka (kind of like lasagna), souvlaki (meat skewers served on a platter or in a wrap), and dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). Breakfasts are typically light, with fresh fruit, olives, and yogurt providing the staples.

Any dietary needs can be catered for, just let us know upon booking.

What is the accommodation like?

Kalamata

In Kalamata you’ll stay at a modern, 3-star, family run guesthouse just metres from the beach. The guesthouse features ensuite double rooms with a TV and fridge, and free wifi. It can vary by group but in most cases the rooms are twin ensuite rooms, based on same-gender sharing.

Private room upgrade

An optional private room at the hotel can be booked for €50 per person (subject to availability). Please request this at the time of booking.

Sfaktiria
