After we meet, fit our kayaking equipment and have our pre-tour kayaking and safety instructions, we start paddling heading to the shipwreck Manassa Rose, located in the middle of Kissamos gulf.
We hear the story and after start paddling through an amazing coastline with plenty of rocky formations, wild beaches and small gulfs to our next interest point, which is some old remnants of an old metal mine constructed in 1905.
Next is our stop for rest and snorkeling on a small private beach close to the metal mine ruins.
On the way back we will have the opportunity to explore a sea cave with its wild birds.
