Description - What to expect

The area

At the westernmost peninsula of the Peloponnese, Cape Akritas separates the Messinian Gulf from the Ionian Sea. Opposite to the Cape Akritas, there is the rocky islet of Venetiko, an uninhabited island that belongs to the cluster of the Messenian Oinousses. Further northeast the Venetians fortified the town of Koroni in the 13th century and, along with Methoni, were two of the most important centers of Venice in the eastern Mediterranean.



The tour

Your Koroni kayaking begins from the golden sandy Zaga beach in Koroni. Before departure, prepare your equipment and attend a brief but comprehensive introduction to the basics of sea kayaking. Then, hop into your kayaks and begin a coastal exploration at a relaxed paddling pace. Glide your kayaks into crystal clear waters near the imposing walls of the Koroni castle overlooking the town built amphitheatrically over the hill.



Heading north navigate your kayaks through rock gardens and reefs offering shelter to the indigenous sea life. Float near imposing white chalk cliffs and discover hidden coves with some of the finest gold sanded beaches in the region.



Halfway you take a break at a sandy beach for relaxing, swimming, and snorkeling. Take time to enjoy a delicious picnic lunch with freshly baked bread, organic garden-grown fruits and vegetables, homemade olive oil, and cheese. Once the lunch stop is over, paddle your way back to the starting point for the finale of your Koroni Kayaking tour.
