Explore the beautiful Corinthian Gulf on this serene sea kayaking tour from Alkyonidos Beach just west of Athens!

The Corinthian Gulf is a deep, elongated body of water separating central Greece from the Peloponnese. It stretches from the Corinth Canal in the east to the Rio-Antirrio Strait in the west, where it meets the Patras Gulf. Corinthian Gulf is known for its stunning coastal scenery, historic towns, and rich marine life.

For this sea kayaking trip on the Corinthian Gulf, you can choose to be picked up from your accommodation or metro stop in Athens (please specify your location when booking), or meet directly at the starting point at Alkyonides Beach. Upon arrival at the beach, your certified instructor will provide the equipment (kayak, paddle, life vest) and go through a safety briefing and paddling instructions. No previous experience is needed. Once everyone is prepared, the sea kayaking from Alkyonides Beach begins!

Following the guide, you'll set off paddling along the picturesque gulf, passing pebbly beaches, charming towns, and turquoise waters. After about 30 minutes, you'll reach a small, secluded beach. You'll have some free time to relax on the quiet beach and swim in the crystal-clear waters. Then, the sea kayaking in Corinthian continues to a small rocky formation, known colloquially as the 'seal cave'. This natural arch is one of the most untouched locations on the gulf! You'll paddle inside the cave to find a magnificent beach with fine, white pebbles.

Afterwards, the trip continues past more fascinating geographical formations, until you reach X Beach. This secret beach is only accessible by the water and is a perfect spot for peaceful swimming and snorkelling. Here, you'll relax and enjoy a delicious snack or picnic lunch, depending on which option you select when booking. Then, you'll start the return journey, stopping at Fokia Cave for one last swim. The excursion ends back at Alkyonides Beach, with return transfer to your accommodation in Athens.
