Sea Kayak to Epidaurus: Ancient Sunken City on the Water

Paddle your sea kayak along an unspoiled Peloponnesian coastline to the submerged ruins of an ancient city just offshore from Epidaurus — a bucket-list fusion of active adventure and archaeological wonder found nowhere else in Greece.

What to expect

After a brief paddling orientation, your expert guide leads a small group along the spectacular rocky coastline toward ancient Epidaurus. You glide over the submerged stone walls and mosaic fragments of a 2,000-year-old harbour settlement visible through crystal-clear water, pausing to snorkel over the ruins. The guide weaves together mythology, history, and marine ecology throughout. The return paddle offers stunning views of the Saronic Gulf and the pine-covered hills — a genuinely unique perspective on the ancient world.
