Southern Greece is an ideal place to paddle: the tide in Mediterranean is minimal while the air and water temperatures are generally warm. The prevaling factor impacting sea conditions is the strength and direction of the wind.
The trip leader will review wind and weather predictions and make a decision where the group will paddle. This decision will be based on the weather, and the group's overall paddling capabilities. Your guide will also carry a GPS, charts, maps, compass, first aid and emergency contact equipment of either a cell phone and/or a VFH radio.
Read our "What to Wear" section, as you'll need to bring and wear comfortable clothes suitable for paddling and active water sports. You'll also be wearing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and sprayskirt over your paddle clothing.
