What a fantastic day out! Kalliopi is a very kind and engaging leader who had thought of everything to make the day a success. Kayaking was undoubtedly the best way to see the incredible volcanic landscape and the extraordinary contrasts in the rocks. Particularly impressive was paddling under what seemed to be a giant wave of lava, frozen into rock above us. From sunhats that could not blow off to a comfortable place to change and get ready, to a delicious vegetarian picnic, it really could not have been better organised.

Greece adventure
Kalliopi Papathanasi was the best guide we've ever had! The experience she provided should have cost 3xs what was charged. From morning espresso to amazing kayaking, THE most magnificent traditional homemade lunch, to the wine at the end. Comfortable transport. Amazing views, swimming, snorkeling, some cliff diving. But the highlight was Kalliopi 's personality, contagious love for the island, and historical knowledge.
It is advisable that you be physically fit with an adventurous spirit!
We can not recommend this trip with Kalliopi enough!!! The best way to see Santorini without the crowds and tourist traps. Our group was comprised of age 25 - 56.

The perfect way to spend a day in Santorini!
The perfect way to spend a day in Santorini. Amazing from pick up to drop off. Kalliopi is a fantastic guide with tonnes of great banter, conversation and advice. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Also the food is great, all homemade, with fresh veg coming from Kalliopis garden. Worth every single penny, can’t recommend enough.

What an amazing experience! The hosts was super friendly, knowledgeable, and nice. We were able to get picked up which was helpful. She provided all the equipment you need (snorkel, waterproof bags, towels, hats, water, sun screen, etc). You also get to stop and swim for a bit then have a picnic lunch that’s a decent size meal. At the end you can get local wine or beer at the end.

Amazing trip
Kalliope runs this small company and does all of the tours herself. She was not only extremely knowledgeable regarding kayaking and Santorini, but she was also
incredibly personable and quite humorous. We have done many kayaking excursions in the past, but this one was far away the best one we have done. Some things to mention, she has the best equipment and provides everything, including dry bags for each person, towels, and carrying cases for each person‘s phone. It was nice to not have to do anything but show up. She made an incredible organic meal grown from her garden. If we ever go back to Santorini, I would do it again! Thank you Kalliope!

Best tour guide and nicest way to see the coast of Santorini
The best way to see the coast of Santorini with tour made personal by fantastic guide Kalliopi along with the best of equipment and knowledge as well as experience. The picnic was gorgeous too and as a family ranging from 15 to 69, the best day of our holiday so far. Collection from hotel was also hugely helpful.

Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a personal coastal experience with the best guide in Santorini
The best way to see and enjoy the coast of Santorini. Kalliopi was the best guide we have had in all our years of travelling. Her attention to detail along with excellent equipment and experience made the day perfect. Also we ranged from 15 to 69 years of age and all loved it. Also the picnic was fresh, tasty and plentiful which was a bonus

Best activity we did in Santorini!
A fantastic day kayaking with Calliope along the south coast. Avoided the crowds and saw some sights we wouldn't see any mother way. And the lunch was delicious!!
