This expedition is for experienced sea kayakers.  You should have enough stamina to paddle to average 25 km per day, which may take up to a total of 6 hours.  You should be comfortable with the idea of paddling in moderate wind and waves, as challenging conditions are likely on at least some of the days.  You should have practiced the T-rescue and know how to do an assisted deep water re-entry.

If you have limited paddling experience, consider our Around Milos Expedition.  Alternatively, our Explore Milos Package will provide excellent preparation for this expedition.

Camping will be wild on remote beaches. There are no facilities and no water supply. All camping equipment, food and water must be carried in the kayak. A strong lightweight tent is essential.

The expedition is self catered. Usually we each look after our own breakfast, lunch and snacks and take turns to prepare a group evening meal. Food for the first stage can be bought from a supermarket in Epidavros on the morning of day 1. You are welcome to bring food items from home. There will be an opportunity to stock up every second or third day, allowing us to travel light and live well. Occasional stops at restaurants and coffee shops are a possibility.

Camping stoves will be provided – one per 4 persons. The Trangia stove, includes 2 pots, kettle and a frying pan. The stoves are powered by gas canisters with a screw-on fitting, readily available in local supermarkets.

April in Greece, is a comfortable spring month, with average temperature fluctuating between 13°C and 18°C. On average, rain falls on 7 days/month, so we can expect some wet weather. The sea temperature is around 16°C. 

For paddling, shorts and a shirt will be sufficient on sunny days. A cagoule (waterproof paddling jacket) and neoprene trousers or similar may be required if its windy or overcast.
