About this experience
We start from close to Green Bay beach and initially, we kayak south just outside Cape Greko until we reach the tip of Konnos beach. We continue south past Agioi Anargyroi (chapel and) cave and reach south as far as 'Kamara tou Koraka' ('Crow's arch') natural bridge. We then return back in the opposite direction via Agioi Anargyroi, exploring more of the coastline upto the north end of Konnos beach. If the sea is calm (it very often is during the summer season), it is highly recommended that we also do some snorkeling (if customers like to - there are very good possibilities of spotting sea turtles either in Konnos beach or in Green bay.
A maximum of 2 travellers kayaking at any time.
If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we kayak around Cape Greko Sea Caves (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

Green Bay can me the meeting point for the trip. The start and finish of our trip is just outside the organised beach. It is very close to a small peninsula called 'Nissia' (islands). A very good place for spotting sea turtles.

Cape Greko is characterised by crystal clear usually calm waters, Konnos beach, one of the best on the island, and a rocky coastline with various rock formations, including 'Kamara tou Koraka' (Crow's Arch) natural bridge. The trip is customisable.
Snorkelling is also highly recommended, with great possibilities for sea turtle spotting.
