About
The Trip:
It is a coastal sea exploration trip through kayaking.
We use sea touring kayaks. They can be used by individuals with no kayaking experience for a fun exploration of some of the most scenic coastlines in Cyprus. The water is usually clear. A mix of pebble, sand and rocky sea bed and west of Aphrodite’s Baths a cliffy coast for a few kilometers. Height limit of 1.90 cm and weight limit of 110 kg.

Meeting time: At 09:00 or 13:00

Meeting location: At Takas beach, 1.5 km east of Baths of Aphrodite.

Itinerary:
We start from Takkas Beach as it is a convenient place to put the kayaks in the sea. We kayak west past the beach for dogs, Baths of Aphrodite and into the Akamas peninsula. The rugged coast is characterised by multicoloured (green, grey, brown) cliffs. The distance depends on the duration of the trip (3 or 4 hours), the kayakers’ preference and profile and the sea condition. Usually for the 4 hour we kayak upto Photiades beach, at a total distance of about 9 km. We then return back in the opposite direction.
