Sea Kayaking In our day trips we explore various areas on the South coast of Crete, starting from the seaside village of Loutro. A typical trip consists of up to 1 hour of briefing and set up time, 3-4 hours of paddling and 2-3
hours of land time, relaxing, swimming, snorkeling, walking and exploring. Trips are planned on a daily basis according to the conditions and the participants’ experience.
