Activities at Atsitsa Bay, Greece

Kayaking with Mark Gunston

Sun 11 - Sun 18 Aug 2024

Mark will be offering a basic canoeing experience using sit on canoes.

Courses will involve: 

The latter will then enable short, coastal trips to be undertaken to such places as Horseshoe Bay, Island canoeing and a trip to Cooknara, (coffee and cake for those in need!). All canoeing will be weather dependant.

This is another stunning way to experience the beauty and 'aquatic' nature of the Greek Odyssey that is Atsitsa, enjoying the Aegean Sea and sun whilst journeying on simple, sit on canoes. Yet another way for adults and children to build unforgettable memories, under the supervision of experienced instructors, who have your safety and enjoyment, as paramount in their care.


What's included?

Mark's course is held in Atsitsa Bay on Skyros island in Greece and is part of the wide range of courses and activities available. The holiday includes full board twin shared accommodation in an eco-hut. Single upgrades and twin shares in the house are available. Chat through the website, call +44 (0)1983 86 55 66 or email holidays@skyros.com to discuss your requirements.
