The "Isle of Aphrodite" reminds us that she was a Sea Goddess as well - as the varied, beautiful volcanic coastline with its sea caves and secluded beaches is ideal for a kayak trip. Join our adventure on one of our favorite islands!
On this unique journey we begin our adventure on Crete and then travel by by ferry to Gavdos, the fabled magical isle of Calypso, just 25 miles across the Libyan Sea. Keep an eye out for dolphins on the way to this remote, unspoiled paradise! The island of Gavdos is the southernmost point of Europe - the next landfall is Africa, which we can see from Gavdos’ high southern cliffs. Depending on weather conditions, we will circumnavigate Gavdos and may venture over to its tiny neighbor, Gavdopoula, before returning to the south coast of Crete.
Delight your senses with the scenery, hospitality and mouthwatering culinary delights of Crete. Spend 8 days walking from the Highlands of Omalos to the Libyan Sea. You'll explore Minoan ruins, venture into the territory of the native kri-kri (mountain goat), and bask in the warm turquoise waters of the sea.
