Sea Κayaking Tour Navarino Bay near Pylos, Messinia, Peloponnese, Greece

Navarino Bay lies in front of the town of Pylos. It is a natural harbor where the island of Sphacteria stands
as a wave breaker, protecting the bay from winds of the open Ionian Sea. The bay offers ideal conditions
for Sea Kayaking trips, especially for beginners. The bay itself is a place of incredible natural beauty, with
an impressive landscape, warm, crystal clear, waters and golden sandy beaches where sea turtles often
return to lay their eggs. Sea kayaking here is a must definitely do without a doubt.

Meet your guides at Divari beach just a few kilometers away from the charming village of Gialova. Your
guide will brief you on paddling techniques, safety measures, and equipment. Soon we shall hop on our
kayaks for a trip around the 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 which 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 for taking pictures of an idyllic landscape and for story-telling. 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

    Our sea kayak trip in Navarino was an amazing experience! We enjoyed paddling with our friendly and hospitable guide Roque. Also,the tour in Sfaktiria island where Roque gave us a lot of informations for the reach history of the place, was very interesting. During the picnic in the beach we had a pleasant break,tasting fresh fruits and topical delicates and having a friendly chat with the rest of the group. We are looking forward for our next exploring.
