Larnaca to Ayia Napa

We start from Green Bay beach and initially, we kayak south just outside Cape Greko until we reach the tip of Konnos beach. We continue south past Agioi Anargyroi (chapel and) cave and reach south as far as 'Kamara tou Koraka' ('Crow's arch') natural bridge. We then return back in the opposite direction via Agioi Anargyroi, exploring more of the coastline upto the north end of Konnos beach. If the sea is calm (it very often is during the summer season), it is highly recommended that we also do some snorkeling (if customers like to - there are very good possibilities of spotting sea turtles either in Konnos beach or in Green bay. A maximum of two travellers kayaking at any time (if there are three or four people in the group, we would need to make arrangements with regards sharing the time on kayaks). If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we kayak around Agia Napa Sea Caves (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

The Agia Napa and Cape Greko coastline are characterised by crystal clear waters and light blue water colours and offer excellent snorkelling possibilities. Near Agia Napa there are sea caves with beautiful colours that we could enter, as well as Lovers' Bridge natural arch. This is our main snorkeling route and a bit over 1 km in length. Usually, and subject to time availability, we visit Konnos beach, at the northern end of Cape Greko park for snorkelling as there are good chances for spotting sea turtles. In our snorkeling trips we use buoy(s) so that passing boat know our presense. It should be noted that the trip is customisable. We can finetune the route on the day, depending on the weather and the travellers' profile and preferences. If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we snorkel (only) around East Cape Greko (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).

This coastal walk connects Konnos beach at the northern tip of Cape Greko park with Glyky Nero beach in Ayia Napa. The route is 10 km long on the rocky coast. Cape Greko park is a small park between the bustling beach resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras. The itinerary (a possible stretch of it is on Aphrodite trail) goes by major attractions in the area including the group of sea caves in Agia Napa, the group of sea caves of Cape Greko (known as Palathkia 'ie Palaces), as well as Ammos Tou Kambouri beach, Kermia beach, Kamara tou Koraka natural arch and Agioi Anargyroi chapel (and adjacent cave). Cape Greko park is a good destination also for birdwatchers, especially during spring migration. The waters are usually very calm on the east side. In the hot season sea turtles visit the area to feed. In older times the Mediterranean monk seal was also around - now a few individuals are spotted here sporadically.

Our sit-on-top kayaks can be used by individuals with no experience for a fun exploration of scenic coastlines in Cyprus. In this trip, we pass by 2 natural and 1 manmade beach, and if the water is calm, we enter 2 sea caves, 1 of which has 2 entrances. We also visit Lovers' bridge. The water is crystal clear and an addition of snorkelling enriches the experience even more. Expected exploration time (pick-up from): Agia Napa - >5 hours Protaras - About 5 hours Larnaca - >4 hours (free part of) Nicosia - <4 hours If we have time we may also kayak to Cape Greko Sea Caves and back to Limnara beach (an additional 3.5 km of kayaking on top of the nearly 8 km). A max of 2 travellers kayaking at any time (if there are 3 or 4 people in the group, we'd need to make arrangements with regards sharing the time on kayaks). If the customers agree, in case of forecasted choppy sea, instead we kayak around east Cape Greko (if the weather is expected to be bad everywhere, we cancel the trip).
