Highlights
Outing Highlights
Coves, limestone caves and crystalline water
The route visits one of Cyprus’s largest coastal attractions: the Cape Greko Sea Caves, set against light‑blue water over white sand that makes the sea remarkably clear.
Sit‑on‑top single kayaks designed for easy exploration
The trip uses light sit‑on‑top single sea kayaks that are suitable for paddlers with no prior experience, offering simple handling and some onboard storage for essentials.
A compact coastal loop with room for customization
The excursion is a go‑and‑return paddle to Cape Greko Sea Caves covering a bit over three kilometres; the guide can adjust distance and route based on group preference and sea state.

What the trip feels like
You meet at the launch, board a sit‑on‑top kayak, and paddle along a rocky shoreline toward the sea caves. The pace is governed by the group and the guide: expect stretches of calm cruising across clear, shallow water punctuated by the close, sculpted rock faces of Cape Greko and the opportunity to thread into sheltered coves before returning to the beach.

Details to review before reserving
Bring water, sun protection, swimwear and towels; a dry bag can be provided on request. Expect to get wet and avoid taking valuables that could be damaged by salt water.
The operator supplies sit‑on‑top single kayaks (about 18 kg each), paddle and PFD; kayaks have some storage space but adding weight increases paddling effort.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
