Aegean Paddlers Sea kayaking Naxos & Lesser Cyclades
Two major island, Naxos and Amorgos, 6 smaller islands and 3 islet clusters scattered between.
Namely and from north to south Thonousa (th spelled like in this), upper koufonisi, lower koufonisi, Schinousa Keros, Iraklia and the island clusters Makares, Antikeria and Glaronisia.
All in the bluest of the blues, in the very heart of the Aegean sea.
Sea kayaking Naxos and the lesser Cyclades is one of our very favourite trips, one that by nature is like no other.
Unfortunately the records of our first sea kayaking trips in 2010 and 2011 are lost, we start from 2012 onwards.
Please scroll below to see the list and info of the Aegean Paddlers trips to Naxos and the lesser Cyclades.
Sea kayaking around Naxos and the lesser Cyclades is a true adventure suitable exclusively to trained, competent and properly equipped sea kayakers like the ones in the trips below.
We have planned, equipped and led over a dozen sea kayaking trips and expeditions around Naxos and the lesser Cyclades.
They were all successful because we respect this simple rule.
