Sea Kayak at Kaloi Limenes, Crete
Activity Description
This kayaking trip depending on the experience of the group and weather-wise will be either towards cape Lithino & Matala village (west) or towards the beautiful fishing village of Lentas (east) with plenty of stops for swimming & snorkeling.
The trip is suitable for all levels; if the group has limited or no experience we will paddle towards the eastern side as that is less exposed to winds and waves.
The west side of the coast is more dramatic with high cliffs (up to 400+ meters), remote beaches, and wonderful caves & rock arches. The paddling distance varies from 12 km up to 20. A must-trip if the group skills are close to 4* (based on British Canoeing).
ABOUT LENTAS
Lentas has a rich past and there is evidence that it had been first habituated in the Neolithic and Early Minoan period (3rd millennium BC). The area that we will be kayaking in falls in the North African climatic zone and thus enjoys significantly more sunny days and high temperatures during the summer.
It is believed that Lentas during the Roman occupation became a sanitarium where sick wealthy Romans, mainly from North Africa, received treatment. The treatment consisted of a diet with mineral water from an ancient spring near the temple of Asklepios, which was believed to have therapeutic properties and local fruits (melon, watermelon, etc) which by the way are just awesome!
