2.Sea Kayak Nafplio – Medieval Castles Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 168 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

Set out from Karathona Beach with Alex, Olivier, or another PanExpeditions guide for a four-hour sea-kayak tour past Bourtzi, Acronafplia, and Palamidi. Expect safety instruction, castle stories, photos, snorkeling, swimming, dry bags, and homemade snacks such as orange cake and fresh melon.

“Due to a last minute change in weather, Alex had to cancel the kayaking part of the tour, but offered to share Nafplio's history with us through a walking tour at no cost. His indepth knowledge of the area gave us a great understanding of the town's history. Would love to return and repeat the tour on the kayak. Thank you Alex!”
