Paddle a sea kayak along the Nafplio coastline on a four-hour tour past the town's medieval castles. The route follows the waterfront with time on the water and guidance from the tour leader.
This four-hour paddle with PanExpeditions leaves from Karathona Beach and works its way along the coast of the Argolic Gulf, past the three fortresses that define Nafplio's skyline: Akronafplia, Palamidi, and Bourtzi. Nafplio was once the capital of Greece, and reviewers say the guides bring its past to life with stories at every stop.
No serious paddling background is needed. The listing is aimed at less experienced kayakers, and reviewers back this up, describing the trip as fine for older travellers and children, with reviewers in their seventies reporting no trouble keeping up. A handling and safety briefing starts things off, guides paddle alongside the group, and the group is capped at twenty, though several reviewers reported much smaller numbers in practice.
There is also a beach break on the tour. Masks and snorkels are handed out, a shade shelter goes up, and snacks appear, with fresh melon and a homemade orange cake mentioned again and again in reviews. A camera is available during the break, and the guides shoot photos while you paddle, sent to you afterwards so you can keep your hands on the paddle.
