Description
Kalandos bay lies 43 km south of Naxos town and is accessible via the route Hora - Galanado - Halki and Filoti. This stunning sandy beach boasts crystal-clear shallow waters and is well-sheltered from the strong northerly summer winds ('meltemia'). It also features a small marina, with the nearest village, Filoti, located 24 km away through a mountainous road. Known for its unspoiled beauty and peaceful atmosphere, Kalandos is a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature.
Your journey begins at Kalandos, where you leave the golden beach behind and paddle east towards Rina's sea cave. Moving at a relaxed pace, you will we explore the area's fascinating geology, breathtaking Cycladic landscapes, and turquoise waters. Along the way, you will we make stops at secluded beaches, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and cliff jumping, away from the crowds. With a small-group setting, your experienced and certified kayak expert ensures a personalized experience. The experience lasts about five hours, including approximately 2.5 hours of paddling and another 2.5 hours spent relaxing on the beaches, swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying snacks and coffee. As the day winds down, you return to your starting point, taking in the last swim of the day, filled with wonderful memories and scenic views.
