Description
Explore the south Cape Greko coast and immerse in its crystal clear light blue waters. Kayak to the stunning Cape Greko Sea Caves Cove and snorkel into the Ayia Napa Sea Caves and under Lovers Bridge
In this 5-hour trip we kayak to the Cape Greko Sea Caves Cove and snorkel to the Ayia Napa Sea Caves.
The service is offered during the warm season (May 15 until October 31). During the cold season, entry in the Ayia Napa Sea Caves is forbidden because members of the endangered Mediterranean Monk Seal may be using the area in winter to raise their puppies, and we should not disturb them and protect them. If one would like to do also snorkeling during the trip during the colder season, they could instead snorkel along the kayaking route. If snorkeling is not a must do activity, we recommend instead our 3-hour kayaking trip to Cape Greko Sea Caves Cove. The snorkeling part lasts about one hour.
Limnara beach is the start of the kayaking trip. The route goes east, at least upto Cape Greco Sea Caves Cove and back. The coastline in the area is rocky, with many rock formations, with rocky coves and light blue waters.
The main attraction of the kayaking trip is the cove of Sea Caves known as 'Palaces' by the locals, because of the grand cave entrances. The caves are too shallow to enter in kayaks, but the vista around the cove, which is a prime attraction of Cape Greko park, is excellent. The cove is visited by many travellers especially in summer, and some dive from the top of the cliff into the crystal clear water.
Depending on the sea conditions and the kayakers profile we may go further east, where there are a number of rocky coves, rock formations and more crystal clear water.
The kayaking trip ends back at Limnara beach.
We only use single kayaks. Kayakers height should be under 1.90 meters and weight should be under 110 kg.
In case of choppy waters, as an alternative we offer a kayaking and snorkeling trip around Green Bay and Fig Tree Bay, on the east coast. If travellers do not want that option, or if the sea is choppy also on the east coast we cancel the trip.
The snorkeling part starts at Glyky Nero beach. We snorkel in crystal clear, light blue waters, above the white sands of Ayia Napa and into a couple of sea caves. We can lend a mask and snorkel to those explorers that would want that. As safety is paramount in our services, the guide uses a big buoy during the trip, mainly to alert boats that may be in the area, of our presence.
Explorers discover the largely hidden world of Ayia Napa Sea Caves. The attraction is the special scenic environment of the caves themselves, both underwater as well as above sea level. Usually we enter two caves, (the 'Dome' and the 'Blue Cave'). We also snorkel under Lovers' Bridge natural rocky arch.
