The trip starts near Chania town in North West and weather-wise will finish near Agios Nikolaos or Pachia Ammos village in eastern Crete.
It is a lovely trip and the winter season is offering a unique view of the snow-capped mountains of Crete. The island is extremely quiet during the winter thus offering some great camping spots which are impossible to camp during the summer.
EXPERIENCE NEEDED: ADVANCED
The whole expedition is about 220km. This equates to about 22km/day in 10 days, however bad weather days plus the first and last day (limited paddling due to driving distance) will make it necessary to increase the daily kilometers up to 35 or more.
- Fit enough to paddle up to 35km/day
- Comfortable in sea state 4 (~2-meter waves)
- Been able to paddle with an average speed of 6 km per hour
Notes: 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 at the airport if your flight is on the 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.
