About this activity

Combine stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling along Kalamata's dramatic coastline, where Mount Taygetos frames pristine coves and calm waters. This 4-hour guided trip blends skill-building, wildlife spotting (fish and sea turtles), and leisurely exploration of Greece's southern mainland gem.

Kalamata is the southern city of Greece's mainland and combines a unique coastline along with the imposing views of mount Taygetos. The land of the famous black olives is offering a majestic and diverse coastline, combine it with the usual calm conditions and you have the ideal opportunity for paddling. Our SUP & Snorkel trip here is a super fun experience suitable for everybody, combining Paddleboarding and Snorkeling along the tranquil coast of Kalamata.

We meet at Archontiko beach, a few kilometers south of Kalamata. After a short introduction to stand up paddleboarding where you will learn the basic paddling techniques, how to turn, stop and stand up until you grow confident on your board, we are ready to go. Starting at a slow pace, we shall practice our skills, stop occasionally to enjoy magnificent the landscape and take pictures. The perspective from a Paddleboard is unique, giving the paddler a different perception of the water where it is common to see the fish and sea turtles swimming below the surface. In addition, the view from on top of the water is equally impressive. The beauty of the diverse coastline is stunning and offers endless spots in hidden coves to swim and play around. We take a break at the spot we like the most for relaxing, swimming and snorkeling. The warm sea and the crystal clear water are turning snorkeling into the most fun and enjoyable thing to do. A delicious picnic is also scheduled during our relaxing time, sourced from farm-fresh, local producers carefully prepared by your guide.
