About the activity
Glide peacefully over the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea and discover the coastline of Greece's most romantic city from an exclusive angle. Ideally located less than 2 hours' drive from Athens, Nafplio is a jewel of the Peloponnese, where medieval history meets marine splendour. The imposing rocks of the Palamidi fortress plunge spectacularly into the turquoise water, creating a unique theatrical setting that can only be contemplated in all its verticality by approaching from the coast. This sea kayaking excursion in Nafplio takes you to the heart of a landscape shaped by centuries and waves, departing from Karathona Beach.
For almost 4 hours of sailing, you will face a breathtaking panorama marked by the presence of 3 historic fortifications. The route will take you first to the fortified islet of Bourdzi, built in the 15th century just opposite the port. You will then follow the Acronauplia hill, whose cliffs are entirely covered in prickly pear cactus. One of the highlights of the trip is the planned break in a wild cove: the perfect opportunity to dive into the warm waters of the Aegean and, for the more adventurous, try your hand at cliff jumping. You can also enjoy a home-cooked picnic of local specialities, a great way to share a convivial moment before the return journey to Karathona Beach.
This guided sea kayaking tour in Nafplio is perfectly suited to families with children from the age of 10, thanks to the use of extremely stable single-seater or 2-seater sea kayaks fitted with rudders to make navigation easier. You will be accompanied by British Canoeing-certified guides who will guarantee optimum safety while passionately sharing their knowledge of the local ecosystem. Places are limited to ensure a friendly group experience, so don't delay in booking your guided sea kayaking excursion in Nafplio for an unforgettable half-day of exploration!
