PROGRAM:
Our trip is focused on the southern part of the island, where it is most interesting for sea kayaking. There the cliffs are cracked and eroded by weathering and surf and rise high above the sea, forming sheer walls, rock niches and caves. Some of the caves are accessible by water and we will enter them by kayaks.
----------------------------------------
Day 1: 02 June 2023, Friday
- Early departure from Vasil Levski Stadium in the direction of Keramoti. On arrival we will make a transfer to the island by the first available ferry. We dock in the capital, where you will have an hour for a short walk, then we head to the campsite. We set up our tents and prepare for our adventure with a detailed briefing and team formation, then take an exploratory kayak trip to the nearby beaches to the left of the campsite.
We will be on the water for about 4-5 hours that day, covering about 9-10 km with beach breaks. We will visit a few caves and dock at a tavern for a beer.
At dusk we will return to the campsite.
----------------------------------------
Day 2: 03 June 2023, Saturday
- After a hearty breakfast, coffee and pancakes prepared for the participants by our team, and making sandwiches for the day, we launch the kayaks. This time we'll head off to the right, and enjoy the sandy beaches during breaks. The first break will be on a beach with tavernas and ice cream, and the next breaks will be on wild beaches.
The paddle that day is about 19 km with four breaks.
In the evening after returning to the pleasant atmosphere of the campsite we will prepare the barbecue, and only the fantasies and skills of everyone in the company are the limits that determine the culinary delights that await us.
----------------------------------------
Day 3: 04 June 2023, Sunday
- We will split this day into two. The first part we will continue with the kayaks to the nearby beach where we will perfect the techniques, and after lunch we will go to the emblematic place called Gola, which is not exactly a beach but a natural sea lagoon carved in the rocks next to the sea. It looks like a swimming pool measuring okоlο 20x15 meters. The rocks around it are terraformed and it is not difficult to walk on them, and it is convenient for jumping into the water.
