The place
Kardamyli is a village in the Mani nestled between the blue waters of the Messinian Gulf and Mount Taygetos creating one of the prettiest settings in the Peloponnese. Sea kayak Kardamyli is a not to be missed trip. An inch-by-inch exploration of one incredibly beautiful and rich in images coasts. You paddle in warm crystal-clear waters, exploring hidden coves, sea caves, and impressive rock formations, visiting idyllic beaches scattered along the coast.

The trip
Meet your guides at the starting point right in St. Johns Fishing Harbor. Before departure, your guides will brief you on trip details, kayak paddling techniques, and safety measures. Sea kayak Kardamyli is about exploring the coast at a relaxed paddling pace. Your guides will narrate to you some of the legends and stories of the region. Each little cove hides a special surprise such as hidden sea caves, rock gardens, and cliffs with spectacular formations. From your kayak you can see through the crystal-clear water the sea life and if you are lucky a sea turtle swimming under you.

One of the top attractions of this trip is a visit to the Blue Cave. A spectacular natural phenomenon where sunlight passing through a crack in the cave reflects on the seafloor an aquamarine color. A swim in the cave is a must-do and a lifetime experience. On the way, we discover spectacular rock gardens emerging from the sea. Why not try to navigate our kayaks between the rocks? Halfway we shall make a big break at a beach for swimming, resting, and tasting a homemade picnic of fresh local delicacies. After lunch, we shall paddle back to the starting point to end a remarkable day at the coastline of Mani.
