Island Hopping expedition:
Milos to Santorini -
8
day
expedition , 7 nights camping (self-catering),
2 nights B&B in Milos - 700 euro pp.
A
challenging expedition for experienced sea paddlers. You must have
enough stamina to paddle 25-30km per day, including open crossings of up
to 24km; be comfortable paddling in strong
wind and waves;
and have good capsize prevention and recovery skills.
The aim of the expedition is
to cross from Milos to Santorini, via the islands of Kimolos, Poliegos,
Folegandros, Sikinos and Ios. The total distance is about 190km
or about 24km per day. We aim to camp near the crossing
point each night, rise early and complete the crossing in the morning
then spend the afternoons exploring the length of each island, at a
leisurely pace. We will encounter restaurants and shops, for food and
water, at least every second day.
