Tour around the Castle: Sea kayaking at Paralio Αstros
Activity Description
Embark on a captivating coastal journey that not only offers breathtaking vistas of Astros but also unravels the rich tapestry of its storied history. From ancient epochs to the present day, Astros has been a pivotal site, hosting the historic ΄B National Assembly amidst the fervor of the Greek Revolution in 1823, alongside the majestic silhouette of Mount Parnon, reaching a peak of 1935 meters.
The highlight of our excursion lies within the charming confines of Paralio Astros, where a secluded peninsula awaits, accessible solely by sea. Here, atop the highest point of land, stands the formidable castle, a relic of the Frankish occupation spanning the 17th and 18th centuries. Delve into the annals of time as we explore the sea cave of Bouboulina, once a lifeline for the castle during the tumultuous years of Turkish rule, now a sanctuary for seabirds.
Our journey continues as we encounter the stoic sentinel of the cape, and the lighthouse, and pass beneath the arches of a quaint seaside theater. A moment of respite awaits us on a sandy shore, where we'll savor fresh snacks amidst the soothing melody of lapping waves, eagerly anticipating the possibility of a playful encounter with dolphins. Join us as we traverse through time and tide, uncovering the hidden gems and untold tales that adorn the coastal splendor of Astros.
