Sea Kayaking

Odyssey Sea Kayak Club was established in 2013 and it is located on Ithaca, one of the seven main islands of the Ionian Sea.

Ithaca is an island with vertical rocky coast and beautiful little bays with pebble Beaches ideal for sea kayaking.

From April to October you can visit us in our Shop in Vathy. Begin your guided trip from our base right next to the sea or from many other departure points around Ithaca’s coastline.

You can choose between the following sea kayaking options:

1. Half day and day trips according to your paddling experience and the time you want to spend with us. Try our all time classic 5h trip from Vathy harbor to Sarakiniko beach: Seven nautical miles with more than 20 Beaches and some unique rock formations.
2. Multiday trips: Under arrangement we organize from 2day to multi day expedition style trips. The camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag and substrate) is included in the service.
3. Sea kayak rentals: If you are an experienced sit in kayak paddler then you can do your own trips and we can arrange the transfers for you. Also if you are a sea kayak guide you can bring your group in Ithaca always under arrangement.

We provide you with all the necessary equipment including Prijon and Perception sea kayaks (doubles or singles), life jacket, paddles, dry bags and spray skirts. Our ISKGA (internation Sea Kayak Guide Association) and BCU (British Canoe Union) certified local guides will bring at the trip the rescue equipment and the first aid kit. Our guides are first aid (EFR) trained. We also have a rescue boat always ready to be next to the kayaks within 20 minutes.

Our sea kayaks are suitable for kids. In case a kid is not tall enough to paddle it can experience sea kayaking in a double kayak with our experienced guides or one of his parents controlling the kayak.
