Our guide George was excellent and ensured we had a wonderful day! All equipment was safe and clean according to government guidelines. You do not need any Kayaking experience before going on this trip as all is explained by a qualified guide. Dry bags can be provided on previous request and flip flops are fine for the activity. Sunset at Poseidon’s temple: priceless. Dinner was on the beach, almost with our feet in the water!

Fantastic!

This was a great excursion! Our guides were so informative, professional and very friendly! And the views from the water were amazing. Definitely worth the value. The kayaking was not extremely difficult even with the choppy water due to the winds. The meal was delicious and they were extremely accommodating to our dietary requests. We would definitely recommend this adventure. We never felt rushed by our guides. And the pickup and return to our hotel made this trip so easy.

Terrific adventure!

Kayaking was an absolute blast! Our guide and driver took us on a "private" tour around Cape Sounion where we did kayaking, snorkelling, dinner, and caught a beautiful sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. I really recommend this activity to anyone who wants a break from the tourist attractions of Athens and wants to try something physical!
