An Active Day: Watersports & the Cyclops Cave

  • An Active Day: Watersports & the Cyclops Cave

Jetskis and watersports on the region's top beach, then a short climb to a cave linked to Homer's Odyssey.

Full description

This pairs the most physical morning on the coast with a genuinely different afternoon: watersports at Agia Paraskevi while conditions and energy are freshest, then a short but real climb up to the Cyclops Cave above Makri once the beach crowd thins out.

Both stops are weather- and season-dependent — confirm the watersports operator is running that day before setting out, since it's a seasonal, wind-dependent operation like most beach outfits on this coast.
