EXPERIENCE NEEDED LIMITED The whole trip is about 80km. This equates to about 20km/day in 4 days. You need to have some previous experience in sea kayaks and especially to be able to track the kayak in a straight line.
Participants without any experience are recommended to join a 2 days sea kayaking course (extra 160€ per person for 2 days) prior taking this trip.
CAMPING & FOODThe expedition is self catering. Usually we each look after our own breakfast, lunch and snacks and prepare a group evening meal in turn.
Meals in seaside towns, or beach side taverna's, are a possibility but not every day if weather is bad and we have to change the plan. You will be informed on time anyway by our guide about getting or not supplies.
During off season (late October to late April) we will need carry supplies for at least 2 days.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURESYou will have to meet us to our base in south west and more specific at Ilingas beach.
The best place to fly to is in Chania city. From Chania there is a bus every day getting to Chora Sfakion which is located very close to us. We can pick you up from there at no cost.
Of course you can also get a taxi to get there. If you do fly from Heraklion airport due to driving distance is recommended to overnight somewhere nearby the day before.
OUR SEA KAYAKSWe are a NDK centre thus having a wide range of Nigel Dennis kayaks plus boats from Valley, North Shore, P&H and a few from Tahe Marine.
