5hour kayaking Cape Greko & optional snorkeling
The south Cape Greko coastline is characterised by crystal clear waters and light blue water colours, excellent for snorkelling & kayaking possibilities.
Near Agia Napa there are sea caves with beautiful colours that we would enter, as well as Lovers' Bridge natural arch. The route and a bit over 1 km in length. We snorkel here only between May and October.
The south area of Cape Greko and particularly the Cape Greko Sea Caves cove is one of the most beautiful attractions in the wider area. The trip provides travellers with the opportunity to explore the cove from the sea in a sustainable, eco-friendly way.
In our snorkeling trips we use buoy(s) so that passing boats know our presense.
We can finetune the route on the day, depending on the weather and the travellers' profile and preferences.
If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we snorkel (only) around East Cape Greko (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

What's included in 5hour kayaking Cape Greko & optional snorkeling
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Ayia Napa
Exploration of the Agia Napa Sea Caves complex. All along we have snorkelling buoy(s) so boats are alerted of our presence. We enter usually two sea caves and we also snorkel under Lovers' Bridge. This is the part of the trip that mainly has to do with enjoying the very particular rocky coast in the area. As this is a private trip, how long we stay here depends on the group. We can snorkel here only between May and October, when it is allowed (and also we will have not enough time if we pick travellers from Larnaca). If we do not snorkel here, it would be possible to snorkel in south Cape Greko.
Cape Cavo Greco
The Cape Greko Sea Caves Cove is one of the best attractions in the wider area. Being on a kayak in the cove is a pleasurable way to explore the cove. Kayakers can relax on the kayaks and go around exploring all corners of the cove (while being careful not to go too close on the rocks). During the hot season, usually a number of people jump from high up the cliff into the water, providing us with a show. It is usually possible, for those who want to, to swim or snorkel around the cove, or even explore on foot some of the caves (sea shoes are strongly encouraged if one wants to step on the rocks).
Cape Cavo Greco
This is found along the south coast of Cape Greko. There are small rocky coves that are lovely for swimming and snorkelling especially because of the clear blue waters and the rocky coast (and not so much for biodiversity).
