The coastline from Sfakia → Loutro → Marmara → Agia Roumeli is famous for its dramatic cliffs, endless blue water, and remote beaches accessible only by sea. Below is Svein’s experience, shared in his own words. “I had four fantastic days of paddling with Enjoy-Crete." The scenery was breathtaking — steep cliffs rising straight from the water, caves to explore, beaches with turquoise water, and a coastline that feels almost untouched.https://enjoy-crete.com/posts/a-kayaking-review-from-paul-leitch/Thu, 12 Jun 2025 09:20:44 +0300https://enjoy-crete.com/posts/a-kayaking-review-from-paul-leitch/This wonderful trip report was written by Paul Leitch, who joined us for a sea kayaking adventure along the spectacular coastline of South Chania, Crete.

This stretch of coastline is, without exaggeration, one of the most spectacular areas for sea kayaking in all of Crete — dramatic cliffs, sea caves, remote beaches, and crystal-clear waters. 📍 Google Maps – Directions to our base
