Diaporos island is a small island with a great beauty which is located just across Vourvourou.
On the island extends a huge natural gulf of 700 meters length.
Because of the shallow waters, the sea around the gulf remains always warm making the island a perfect destination for the winter swimmers.
The Byzantine ruins at “Krifto” gulf reveal the long history of the island.
Last but not least, nature and the green pines that cover the whole island together with the crystal blue waters create a peaceful summer scenery.
We have special sit in kayaks which are very long and fast compared to the simple sit on top kayaks. Equipment is Prijon Kayaks and P&H Expedition series kayaks, Carbon shaft nylon blade Paddles from Lendal, spraydecks, buoyancy aid, cags, hats etc. from Nookie
