Kayak Use

By requesting and using the kayaks you agree to follow these rules at all times.

 

* Kayaks can be used only during daytime and not after sunset.

 

* Wearing the life jackets provided is mandatory at all times.

 

* It is permitted to use the kayaks only in the area from the last house on the left side up to the floating bridge on the right side and within 20m from shore.

 

* It is absolutely forbidden to stray further out either side or deeper than the signposted area as this will mean crossing the path of vessels and port entry which is perilous and strictly forbidden by Greek law. Violators will be fined by the coast guard and the kayaks will be confiscated.   

 

*By sunset, kayaks must be properly stored and covered in the designated space.

 

The cost of replacement of a lost or damaged kayak will be covered in total by the guests. ​

... and some practical tips!

 

To put the kayak in the water easily and safely, grab the middle handles, lift it, turn and rest its bottom on the top of the two ladder arches horizontally. Then, from the sea, holding the handle closest to you, slide it down into the water side-first.

​

Taking it out works in reverse: while standing between the ladder arches pull the kayak sideways against them, then holding the side handle closest to you, lift that side up and pull the kayak up horizontally while its bottom slides on the handles. Then grabbing both handles, lift, turn and store one on the side of the other while ensuring the backrests are folded down to avoid damaging. Please do not pull kayaks from the water to the stone platform or slide them off. Rocks will damage them.

​Happy kayaking!
