Kolona Kayak Tour

Take a unique opportunity to paddle into one of the most exotic and cherished beaches of the Cyclades due to it's characteristic shape, a narrow strip of sand with sapphire, crystal clear waters on both sides, explore some mysterious sea caves and bathe in its natural hot springs on the way back.

You will start the trip from Episkopi beach, a long sandy beach and paddle for approximately 20 min to the ancient port of Vriokastro, the island’s prehistoric settlement. You will make a stop for swimming and snorkeling in the emerald waters, explore some interesting sea caves along the way until you reach the highlight of the island – the famous Kolona beach, where you can dip into the natural thermal spring for ultimate rejuvenation and a break for snack.

​

A small hike up to the Agios Loukas islet which is connected with Kolona only by a narrow strip of sand, will offer the best panoramic views to the famous beach and the surrounding scenery, so this is where you can take those great postcard-like photos and enjoy the views, before heading back to Episkopi, carrying some amazing new memories.
