What you'll see

This amazing experience begins from the moment we are meeting our guests at their hotel or any other place in Athens, in order to transfer them to the starting point, a beautiful Attica beach!After a short but necessary introductory lesson, containing important directions for your safety and the smooth conduct of the activity, we will begin our rowing adventure, having as an end point the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounio. In total we will be kayaking along the coast enjoying the crystal clear waters, mighty cliffs and hidden caves for approximately 3 hours! En route we make a stop at one of the nearby islets and/or on one of the beaches of Legrena for a swim, a bit of snorkeling and a refreshing snack!Towards the end of our paddling part for today, we will have the opportunity to approach the Temple of Poseidon by the sea just like the ancient travelers did, a truly unique and life-lasting memory! One can actually feel the energy of this sacred and very important monument and location.

After leaving our sea kayaks at the beach, we will head towards the temple and enjoy the beauty of the archaeological site and the breathtaking sunset.What better way to end this excellent day, than having a delicious meal at a traditional Greek seaside restaurant with great views to the sea and the Temple!
