Multi Day Trips & Expeditions

We run a number of multi-day trips and Sailing-Kayaking expeditions in the islands of Greece. Such trips offer the added pleasure of wild camping or sailing, the element of adventure and the experience of spending long times in the nature, away from modernities we're used to in everyday life. 

Multi-day sea kayaking trips are for sure one of the best ways to connect with nature and experience the Greek seas.

Sailing and Sea Kayaking

 

 

 

A Unique way to experience the Greek islands

 

This is a week long sailing trip with sea kayaks on board combining vacations in a sailing yacht and sea kayaking. Get on board a 43 foot sailing yacht and visit Greek islands in one of the most rich ways to experience the impressive coastline and culture, by boat and kayak.

 

In a glimpse:

  • 7days on a sailing yacht with kayaks on board
  • Sailing through different islands in the Cyclades, Greece
  • Sea kayaking every day
  • Accommodation and food atop a sailing yacht
  • Maximum 6 participants in double bed cabins
  • Hosted by a skipper and kayak guide (BC certified)

 

Itinerary: A selection of Cycladic islands, Aegean Sea

Kayaking days: Every day (6 days)

Paddling level: Some experience required 

Distances on average: From 8 to 15km per day.

In detail:  

Kayaking

Atop the yacht we carry our sea kayaks and their equipment:

  • Single or double sit in kayaks
  • Sprayskirts (Peak Uk, Nookie)
  • PFD's (Peak UK)
  • Split paddles (Werner)
  • Paddling jackets (Peak UK)
  • Pumps & Safety equipment (VHF, repair/first aid kits etc)

Once on location we put the sea kayaks in the water to paddle along the sheltered coastline and witness remote beaches, crystal clear water and impressive rock formations or sea caves. The sailing boat may be waiting for us at the end of our route. Paddling distances can range from 8 to 15km depending on our preferences, available time and weather conditions. Usually there is such an impressive coastline to paddle: rock gardens, caves and rock features that need time to expore and as a consequence drop our average speed considerably. We will make stops to rest, swim and snorkel. Back on board the yacht we get comfortable, rest and enjoy the simplicity of living afloat.

Sailing

The boat, a Jeannau Sun Odyssey 43, is equipped to comfortably accommodate and safely travel us in the Greek seas. We will meet in Paros island and take off to visit the following islands*:

  • Antiparos
  • Folegandros
  • Poliegos
  • Kimolos
  • Milos

*Itinerary and islands to be visited are subject to weather conditions.

In each island we have great options to paddle, visit villages, see archaeological sites and anchor in remote bays. From island to island depending on the wind conditions we will make the most with sailing and everyone will be able to participate in that process and learn if new to this environment. The spirit of this trip is for a joint powers-teamwork type of vacation as the boat is a more enjoyable and efficient transportation mean if all members let a hand and get involved, however this is not obligatory as George and Alex can easily take the workload on them. 

 

Accommodation & food

Accommodation is in the boat in double bed cabins with one toilet/shower per two cabins. Cabins are equipped with bed linen and towels and the galley (kitchen) is capable of hosting a great cooking variety. You are able to make your own breakfast, lunch and snacks and we take in charge several meals as we love to prepare and offer you tastes which are connected with the marine and fishermen culture of Greece. About twice in the trip we set foot on small fishing ports to resupply and these are opportunities to try local delicacies in village taverns.

When the time is right we enjoy snacks like mezes, small bites of Greek products which are usually accompanied by a local spirit. After a day of activity, food and relaxation we are ready to welcome a bright starry night whilst anchored on a secluded bay.

 

The Skipper and Kayak guide

The hosts are father and son George and Alex. George is been sailing and working in the yacht chartering sector for 45years as a skipper, boat owner, yacht broker and yacht charter company owner. Alex is running sea kayaking trips in the Cycladic island Paros after having created Sea Kayak Paros in 2014. He is a BC advanced sea kayak leader and Sea kayak coach. Both are very happy to be able to work together in this joint project, looking forward to spend some quality time in the sea and show and share as much of their knowledge of the sea, activities and Greek culture.
