Porto Heli in the Peloponnese is one of the most luxurious destinations in Greece.

It is situated on a bay of the Argolic Gulf, 6 km (3.7 miles) south of Kranidi and 40 km (25 miles) southeast of Nafplio. Nicknamed the Greek Riviera, from Athens, visitors can go to the port of Piraeus and take the ferry to Porto Heli, which runs 4-5 times a day. Alternatively, visitors can go to Porto Heli by bus from Kifissos KTEL Station.

Your sea kayaking adventure begins at the meeting point in Kosta, where you will be greeted by your seasoned instructor. After a safety and itinerary briefing, you and your group (a maximum of 20 people) will receive your life jacket, paddle, and wetsuit (only if the weather is colder).  Once you've received an introduction to kayaking and paddling techniques, the fun starts! Under the hot Greek sun, you'll set off westward, towards Porto Heli, admiring the picturesque coastlines as you paddle.

During your sea kayaking tour in Porto Heli, you'll explore secret sandy inlets as you follow the olive groves from the bustling port to the uninhabited island of Hinitsa where you will stop for a delicious lunch, a refreshing swim/snorkel, and relaxation time. Re-energized after your break, you'll return to the original departure point in Kosta, taking the time to see caves and caverns at low tide on the way back.
