Sea Kayaking Tour in the Dodecanese

On Day 1 of your sea kayaking tour you settle into your accommodation and enjoy the warmth of the Rhodian Sun! In the afternoon, get ready for an introductory meeting with a Trekking Hellas Guide in the reception area of your hotel followed by a welcome dinner

Today, it’s time to get in the water! Be ready to be blown away by the clarity of the water, its amazing colours, and the magnificent bays. On today’s list are Anthony Quinn’s Bay, Ladiko Beach, a couple of sea caves to explore and a beautiful area known as Traounou where you will enjoy a well-deserved homemade picnic lunch.

Plenty of time is allocated on your stop here to go snorkelling to explore the rich environment of the sea in this area, swim, and even cliff jump for those inclined.

Today you will start from a southern point on the East Coast, a charming fishing village named Haraki. The scenery here is completely different from the day before and never ceases to amaze! Today you will see the medieval castle of Feraklos, the golden sandy beach of Agathi, and the unspoilt gem of Rhodes known as Red Sand Beach.

After time to swim, snorkel, and relax, a BBQ will be prepared right by the sea.

Start the morning on the local ferry to Symi, the most picturesque of the Dodecanese Islands. From your first glimpse of this island to the last you will without a doubt find it hard to get enough of this beautifully unique place. Hit the water in Gyalos, heading towards St George Disalonas Bay, an area only accessible by boat. The magnificent rock face behind the beach is a beautiful sight. Swim in the clear waters and enjoy a BBQ next to the chapel.

Tonight, you will stay in Pedi, a true paradise for those seeking serenity. If you are interested in some evening exploration of Gyalo, Symi’s main town, it’s just a short walk away!

Rise early today to take in the colours of the morning sky and the peace and quiet of Pedi beach. After breakfast you’ll set off on your next kayaking session. Marvel at the amazing views of the colourful houses of Gyalos and Nimporios before reaching Nimos Island, a stone’s throw away from Symi. Nimos is an uninhabited island and as a result has goats aplenty.

Today you’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch served in the courtyard of Panagia Ipakoi’s small church. In the afternoon, it is sadly time to say goodbye to this little rocky paradise and catch the ferry to Rhodes.

Begin today with a ferry ride to the most eastern point of Greece, Kastellorizo. This tiny island has the most amazing hidden sea cave ever found in Europe. It is up to 50 metres long and 30 metres wide. Through its tiny entrance, you paddle in to find a blue grotto. The light of the sun reflects in the interior of the cave, thereby producing a dazzling azure colour. Sea turtles abound in this area, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.

After your visit, stop for lunch, this time in the quiet village of Kastellorizo overlooking the Turkish coast. After a leisurely lunch you’ll head back to Rhodes.

Today sees you back on Rhodes for your last kayaking experience in the Dodecanese. You’ll explore Lindos, the gem of Rhodes Island. Quaint whitewashed houses are juxtaposed against its pink bougainvilleas, beautiful blue waters, golden sandy beach and ancient acropolis at the top of the hill. You’ll also explore St Paul’s Bay and Navarone Bay. After lunch at a taverna, there is also an optional visit to the archaeological site of the Lindian Temple of Athena.

In the evening, enjoy a final farewell dinner.

After breakfast, it’s time to leave Rhodes and the Dodecanese Islands. Safe travels!
