Highlights
- Alkyonides Gulf - Our adventure starts at Alkyonidos beach, at 10.30am. Certified guides will give a short lesson on the beach, on the proper use of paddles and kayaks at sea. Then we are ready to go to sea and start our adventure.
We will paddle for about half an hour until we reach the wonderful, quiet beach, the small Strava. Free time for relaxing on the beach and for swimming.
Then we continue our journey, to reach after about 15 minutes a magical place where the locals call it “the seal cave”, one of the purest and untouched places of the Corinthian. It is a rocky formation, a natural arch above the turquoise waters of the sea. Entering the arch, there is a cave that inside houses a magnificent beach with fine, white pebbles.
We continue paddling observing interesting geological formations from the rocks and passing various caves to reach X beach. This is only accessible by sea. It has incredible waters, ideal for diving and swimming. Here we take our break and eat our snack.
After swimming and resting, we start our return. We will stop at the cave of Fokia for one last swim, and we will end up at the beach of Alkyonidos, where we started.

A perfekt day - Dear Costa and Mario, thank you very much for the wonderful experience.
Costa, you treated us very courteously and spoiled us with your Greek cheese and olives.
You also brought us a little closer to the beautiful nature of Greece.
But the best tour is nothing without the hard-working helpers in the background.
A big thank you to Mario again for this perfect day.
We will remember this day for a long time and recommend you at any time.
Best regards
Anja and Fabio

Don't use these people unless... - ...you want a fantastic time enjoying nature. My family (wife, daughter, son-in-law, 11 yr old grandchild) and I did two successive days with Nomadspath. First, we did the day hike to Pentili Mountain. The next day we did the sea kayak tour at the Corinthian Gulf. Wow. Both were great.
They picked us up from our hotel in Athens for both trips and drove us back. Told us what we needed to bring. Fed us during the trips. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They gear the trips for your level of ability and desire.
The views were outstanding. It was particularly nice to get away from the crowds and bustle of Athens and to be outside enjoying God's creation. This is one of the few websites which delivers exactly what they advertise.
Do it. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome day from Athens! - Our kayaking trip was the perfect day trip from Athens to do something different from the typical Athens activities. We were picked up promptly (and at late notice as our other transportation fell through, but Michail was quick to respond and solve our problem!) and driven to our destination on the Corinthian Gulf. What a cool trip out on the water into a few caves and remote spots and a stop halfway for a heavy snack and snorkel/swim on a beach only accessible by water. Our group had diverse skills and the guides (and owners) were patient and accommodating. After our kayaking excursion was over, we dried off and headed to a local restaurant for a Greek seafood lunch before being dropped off at our accommodations in Athens. The trip made for an awesome day and the photos we were sent afterwards were the cherry on top! Highly recommend for the activity seeker visiting Athens!

A great experience all around - Had a great time - we were picked up right at our hotel and driven to the beach where the kayaks were launched. We kayaked to multiple different sites for great views, as well as had a small picnic in a sea cave before heading back to the seaside taverna for more food (welcome after the kayaking). The tour operators took pictures and shared them as well, so we didn't have to worry about taking many and had some pictures of us in the kayak. Very few other people around and the weather cooperated nicely. Highly recommend Michalis and this tour.

A+ tour guides and breathtaking views - Exceeded expectations. Breathtaking. Can't say enough good things about our tour guides, Michael and Costas. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and just great to talk with. It was just me and my husband on the trip and they took great care of us. We have kayaked several times before so they adjusted our trip somewhat based on experience level. They provided a nice little picnic lunch on our basically private beach this time of year. They told us it only ever sees about 20 people at a time in the on-season. Snorkeling was amazing. Beautiful clear water, though a bit chilly in May. The cave of the seal was breathtaking and we had it all to ourselves. The caves were fun to take a look inside too! Best kayak trip of our lifetime. We will probably never be able to top this. 100% worth the cost. We opted to rent a car and drive to the beach instead of the Athens pick up so that we could stop in Corinth and the other nice places nearby after the tour. Another great perk of this tour is that they take pictures of you kayaking and send it to you.

Half day around Athens - A wonderful experience kayaking around Athens. The scenery was truly breathtaking. Nomads team had a fantastic kayak guide truly in love with what he does. An easy going person who's extremely pleasant to be with. I would strongly recommend joining this team.
