What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Ayia Napa, Ayia Napa, Famagusta District
It must be noted that as per the advice of seal specialists, from November to March 15 we do not enter the Sea Caves and we do not go very close to them, because Mediterranean monk seals and their puppies may be using them. We should not disturb them. We visit the caves during the rest of the year, provided the sea is not very choppy.
Agia Napa Sea Caves complex is the most western point of our itinerary. The complex comprises a collection of sea caves and rock formations, on the east side of the Agia Napa fishing port, just east of the two beaches of Pantahou and Glyky Nero. Some are almost too narrow for even a single person to enter, others are wider, some have a form of a tunnel or of a natural arch (the famous Lovers' Bridge).
Again, depending on our discussion we may stop here for a dip.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Cape Greco, Ayia Napa Cyprus
This cove has been know as 'Palaces' due to their grand, artificial appearance. A very popular cove visited as a rule by land. The waters are very clear. Often, a number of people dive from the top of the cliff.
We visit the Sea Caves, depending on travellers' preference and profile. Doing both sea cave complex may be too tiring for a number of the kayakers, especially if the water is a bit choppy.
Duration: 30 minutes
Additional information

- Not recommended for travelers with back problems
- Not recommended for pregnant travelers
- No heart problems or other serious medical conditions
- Travelers should have a moderate physical fitness level
- Please keep in mind that while we do provide things like a dry bag, travellers should be clear that they would probably get wet and they should not bring along things that would be damaged by salt water.
- The kayaks are light, only 18 kilograms each and can go relatively fast, depending also on the weight on them. There is some storage place on them. At the same time, people should keep in mind that increasing the weight on the sea kayaking, increases the work they would need to do to move the kayak forward.
- Possibility of upto four kayakers until July 2023. Number goes up to six from Aug 2023
- We check weather forecast the previous night. If it is not good, and better on the east coast, we instead kayak along the east side of Cape Greko, if customers agree and the weather forecast there is better.
- Kayakers should be able to swim. Yes, the kayaks of course float and all kayakers were Personal Flotation Devices. Still we expect everyone to be able to swim.

We had the most amazing time kayaking around the coast of Ayia Napa, we started at Limnara beach and got a thorough tour of all the sea caves and beautiful sights around the island. The water was crystal clear and the weather was perfect. Phivos, our tour guide was amazing. He had very thorough knowledge of all the sights and history of Cyprus. He was very relaxed and let us chose the pace of the whole trip. Me and my partner would definitely recommend this trip, we went as a couple but would be very good for group/family trips as well. Thank you again Phivos!The weather did not permit us to kayak, but per our preferences, Phivos took us on extensive and enjoyable scenic walks exploring various coastal areas.

The weather did not permit us to kayak, but per our preferences, Phivos took us on extensive and enjoyable scenic walks exploring various coastal areas. While walking we asked him about the history of Cypress and he gave us a description of all the successive empires and rulers of Cypress from 2000 BC until now in a thumbnail sketch. Exceptional experience!Had a great morning with Phivos sea kayaking. He was super friendly and professional and knew lots of interesting things about the local area. I hadn’t been in a Kayak for quite a few years but Phivos made me feel confident and I had a fab time. Definitely recommend!
