Insider tips

  • ★Start early to maximize calm water conditions and avoid afternoon wind; the Ionian is known for stable weather but afternoons can develop chop
  • ★Bring reef-safe sunscreen and reapply frequently—there's minimal shade on the water and reflection off the sea intensifies UV exposure
  • ★Pack an underwater camera or GoPro; the snorkeling spots and cave entrances are visually stunning and rarely crowded
  • ★Wear water shoes or neoprene booties for rocky beach landings and sea-cave exploration

Good to know

  • •All-day trip: bring plenty of water, snacks, and a light lunch; basic provisions may be limited on remote islands
  • •Two-seater kayaks mean you'll share with a partner; inform guides of any swimming or physical concerns beforehand
  • •Snorkeling gear (mask, fins, snorkel) typically provided; confirm if your own equipment can be brought
  • •Moderate fitness level recommended due to 6+ hours paddling; kayaking experience not required but helps
  • •Weather-dependent: tours may be rescheduled in poor conditions; check cancellation policy before booking
