Kayaking at Zapalo/ Tripiti beach (from Kourion beach)

What we’ll do

We will set to explore the best kept secret beach, Zapalo (also known in greek as “Tripiti”) from Kourion beach as our start location. This is offered only as a morning tour, where the sea would be expected to be calm. An energetic tour suitable for all paddlers. the total estimated distance is approximately 7-8 km, but depending on the weather and the group capabilities it might varies.

We meet at the designated launch (start) site where we will provide you with the necessary information about the area and equipment (kayak, paddle, PFD). We will make a small introduction on how to paddle and self rescue techniques. Following on, we will practice what we learn in the water and the adventure begins.

We set off and paddle together at a relaxed pace to discover the cliffs of the area, small coves, and weave through rocks. We will make our stop at the Zapalo beach where we will have time to swim, snorkel and relax. We will also enjoy a morning coffee and a snack before we start to paddle back at the starting location having spend an adventurous and fun day in the sea.
