Activity description

Explore Lindos and Agia Agathi Beach on this full-day sea kayaking excursion in Rhodes!

Rhodes is a beautiful and popular Greek island located in the Dodecanese group in the Aegean Sea. Rhodes is known for its rich history, stunning beaches, charming old town, and archaeological sites. Kayaking is a great way to explore Rhodes, as the island is surrounded by clear blue waters!

To start the day, you will be picked up from your accommodation in Southern Rhodes by the instructor. Make sure to bring your swimwear! Your guide will transport you to the tour's starting point, where you'll embark on an exciting kayaking journey. Upon arrival, you'll get equipped with top-of-the-line kayaks and all the necessary safety gear. Once comfortably settled into your high-quality kayak, with each one holding two individuals, you'll receive a brief instruction on proper kayaking techniques. Then, the adventure begins!

The route begins from a sandy beach located on the eastern side of Rhodes. The guide will lead the way south in the direction of Lindos, a picturesque village famous for its white-washed houses and narrow alleys, which offers stunning views of the sea and surrounding landscape. You will row between two small rocky islets and enter a small bay formed by a sea cave.

As you row past the rocky coastline in front of the town of Archangelos, you will reach two isolated beaches with red sands. It is not possible to reach these beaches by land. Here, you'll take a break and enjoy a refreshing dip. A traditional Greek salad will be served as you relax on the beach in the sun. After the break, you'll start rowing towards Agia Agathi Beach, passing by small sea islets and natural rock formations.

When you arrive at the sandy Agia Agathi Beach, you'll have some time to try snorkelling! You will explore a small bay with a stunning seabed and a small cave that you can swim through. After another short rest on the beach, you'll row towards a cape located in Lindos, bringing you close to the medieval Haraki Castle. When you row around this cape, you will arrive at Haraki Beach, a beautiful beach with white pebbles and crystal clear waters. The final destination on the tour is a fishing port at the start of Kalathos Bay. From there, you will be able to see the glistening shimmer of Lindos and its ancient acropolis in the distance. The guide will then transfer you back to your pick-up point in Rhodes.

This full-day adventure is a fun way to explore the island of Rhodes by sea; learning about the town of Lindos and finding small, untouched beaches and bays!

It was a great workout, nicely balanced with two stops and time to enjoy a swim and a simple but tasty lunch.

We are so glad that we did sea kayaking as it was the perfect closure of our trip to Rhodes. Dimitris is a great guide and told us interesting things about the island. The spots we visited were well chosen too. It all felt very adventurous while we were kayaking from beach to beach and climbing through small caverns. The humble Greek salad we had for lunch was nice and provided the right nutrition for this intensive activity.

Sea kayaking in the footsteps of the pirates was amazing. You kayak alongside majestic cliffs, stop off at a beach where there are no other people and can snorkel. We had lunch on another secluded beach after exploring the nearby caves. This experience was truly worth every penny!

Superb location, route and good equipment. No research conducted prior to the event regarding participants experience levels, technical skills etc etc., as a consequence kayak pairings were wrong resulting in one kayak having two very fit, young and experienced persons and the other two kayaks having less able crews leading to unbalanced crews who then felt pressurised, stressed which detracted from the experience. The pace set by the lead crew was too fast, the time spent at rest and at stop offs too short and we felt rushed and pressurised into finishing rather than taking time to really enjoy. If the correct research had been done and the pairings thought out the whole experience would have been far, far better. After the event we felt a little cheated. Additionally - collection time was pulled forward by 1 hour - this was stressful given that we were on holiday with teenage boys and seemed pointless given that we finished before two in the afternoon and still had half a day left!!
