SUP in Kardamyli

Kardamyli, located in the southern part of the Peloponnese, is a picturesque village set between the calm Gulf of Messinia and the towering Mount Taygetos. Surrounded by tranquil blue bays, dense cypress trees, and endless olive groves, the area boasts a stunning coastline. The crystal-clear waters, paired with the rugged cliffs, create an ideal setting for paddleboarding and snorkeling. Our SUP & Snorkel trip here offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, allowing participants to explore the beautiful coast of the Mani at their own pace while discovering the region's natural beauty both above and below the water.

The adventure begins at Foneas Beach, located just a few kilometers south of Kardamyli. After a brief introduction to stand-up paddleboarding, participants will learn essential techniques such as paddling, turning, and stopping to gain confidence on the board. Once comfortable, the group sets off at a leisurely pace to practice skills while taking in the spectacular scenery. From the Paddleboard, the water's surface offers a unique perspective where fish and sea turtles can often be seen swimming below. The dramatic cliffs lining the coast provide a breathtaking backdrop as the group glides through calm waters, allowing everyone to fully appreciate the area's natural beauty.

Along the journey, the group will explore hidden beaches and paddle into secluded coves with turquoise waters. The cliffs, caves, and tunnels create an intriguing environment to discover, with the opportunity to swim through hidden caverns and even try a daring cliff jump. Halfway through the trip, the group will stop for a relaxing break, where they can swim and snorkel, uncovering the vibrant underwater world teeming with marine life. To recharge, a delicious picnic sourced from local, farm-fresh produce will be provided, allowing participants to relax and enjoy a taste of the region's culinary offerings before heading back to shore, completing an unforgettable day of adventure.
