Sea Kayaking Greece with the Aegean Paddlers

The Aegean Paddlers are a registered and certified NPO, that since 2015, is aiming to promote and develop sea kayaking in Greece.

From our 2 bases in Athens and Kalymnos islands we extend our sea kayaking trips and activities to every part of. Greece

George Karpathios is the founder and C.E.O. of the Aegean Paddlers and also the person behind for all A.P. activities.

Between 2011 - 2019, George travelled to Wales several times to learn from some of the forefathers of sea kayaking, like Nigel Dennis, Gordon Brown, Jeff Allen, Eila Wilkinson, Pete Barnes and more and also to buy and import some of the best kayaks and paddles in the world. 

Since then, he has planned, equipped and led over 100 sea kayaking multi day trips and expeditions in Greece and the Aegean and countless daily outings and training sessions.

The NDK Explorer is my expedition kayak of choice.

I chose it for it's stability in waves, speed, agility, carrying capacity, low windage, solid marine grade construction and all it's unique safety futures.

We have done many sea kayaking trips together including 

Athens to Turkey 

Athens to Kalymnos 

Athens to Milos 

Athens to Kythera 

and much more...
