Enjoy this tour to explore the major sights of the historic bay of Navarino, near the town of Pylos. With a landscape of incredible natural beauty, we enjoy clear blue waters, golden sandy beaches where sea turtles return to lay their eggs. You can also see medieval castles standing over historical shipwrecks outlining the rich naval history of the area.
Your guide will brief you on paddling techniques, safety measures, and equipment. Soon, we shall hop on our kayaks for a sea kayak trip around Navarino Bay like never before. Heading west, we paddle towards the imposing cliffs of Sphacteria Island, a place of nesting and resting for many species of birds that we may witness. Our next stop is the dock of Sphacteria. Here, we jump out of our kayaks, stretch our legs, and walk to the island’s viewpoint to take pictures of an idyllic landscape and for storytelling. Back to our kayaks, heading north to experience the open Ionian Sea for a few minutes and also admire the fort of Paleokastro and its impressive walls and bastions guarding the north entrance of the bay. A few minutes later, we shall make a stop at a secluded beach for swimming and resting. Here we shall also taste our homemade picnic of local delicacies and relax under the sun. After this energy-pumped stop, we will paddle back to the starting point to end an amazing day in the tranquility of Navarino Bay.
Meeting on the beachfront, keep driving straight on the dirt road when the asphalt road turns right, for 100 more meters, we will be on an open space that looks like a parking area.
