Itinerary

Day 10 10-days Sea Kayak Expedition with Camping in North Crete, Greece

CAMPING & FOOD

The expedition is self catering. Usually we each look after our own breakfast, lunch and snacks and prepare a group evening meal in turn.

We will buy 4 days worth of food and water for 2 days at the beginning as we will be able to restock during the route. Our guide will give you a detailed briefing and sort out if there is any issue related with food or camping.

Meals in seaside towns, or beach side taverna's, are not possible apart from maybe a day or two due to been all closed for the winter season. The island is extremely quiet during the winter which takes place this expedition, it is simply wonderful.

For camping you need to have with you pegs suitable for both sandy and rocky beaches.

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE DATES

We will meet near the city of Heraklion between 8-9 am. You should arrive in Heraklion the day before.

On the last day of the trip we will return back to Heraklion by our car and will be glad to drop you in the airport if your flight is on same date.

Your flight needs to be late enough as we need about 2 hours to get there from the place that will finish our sea kayak trip.

An alternative airport if you do find a much cheaper flight is the one in Chania.

CAN I RENT ALL CAMPING EQUIPMENT?

We can provide all the equipment for camping apart from the sleeping bag for an extra cost. You can get a high quality 3 or 4 season tent for an extra 30€ for the whole duration of the trip and with an extra 10€ an inflatable mattress or a normal mattress if inflatables are already booked. The stove (complete set from Trangia) and gas canister are included in the price.
