Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for a different way to discover the coastline between Sivota, Perdika and Parga? No Limits Ionian is one of the most complete outdoor operators on this stretch of the Thesprotia coast. Based at Karavostasi beach, it runs guided sea kayak and SUP (stand-up paddleboarding) tours, lessons, hikes, yoga sessions and daily equipment rentals.

The appeal is simple: the small corners you can’t reach by car. Beaches accessible only from the water, sea caves, deserted bays and colours that shift from turquoise to deep blue — all at a pace that adapts to you, not the other way around.

Where it is — and why Karavostasi is the perfect launch point

The base sits on Karavostasi beach in Perdika, Thesprotia — one of the most beautiful and best-known beaches in the region. The setting is no accident: here the mountain drops straight into the sea, creating a wild coastline of towering rock, dense green and crystal-clear water, with Paxos and Corfu visible on the horizon. From here, routes lead both south toward Sivota and Parga and into hidden coves close by.

The location is also convenient if you’re staying anywhere around Igoumenitsa, Sivota or Plataria — Karavostasi is relatively close and easy to reach by car.

What you can do

No Limits Ionian isn’t a one-trick operator. On the menu you’ll find:

Guided sea kayak tours — the flagship activity, with several different routes.
SUP tours and lessons — stand-up paddleboarding for beginners and the more experienced.
Hiking around Karavostasi and the wider Thesprotia region.
Yoga sessions, often with the sea as a backdrop.
Multi-day tours for those who want something more immersive.
Daily rentals: kayak, SUP and bike.

Beyond tourism, the wider No Limits group has spent more than 25 years in outdoor activities and corporate events (team building, motivational travel, large-scale organising) — experience that shows in the logistics and the emphasis on safety.

The sea kayak routes, one by one

Every route starts from a different point and reveals a different piece of the coast. A sample:

Sivota – Blue Lagoon (~5 hours): the signature route, weaving around the Sivota islets and the blue-green waters of the famous Blue Lagoon.
Hidden beaches of Perdika & Sivota (~5–6 hours): from Karavostasi northward, past Stavrolimena and Arilla, around the islet of Agia Paraskevi and through the sea-cave tunnel of Mega Drafi, with stops to swim and snorkel.
Parga – Valtos / Lichnos (~5 hours): from Valtos beach toward Parga and on to Lichnos, taking in caves, coves and small beaches that can’t be reached from land.
Karavostasi – Prapa Mali (~3 hours): the shortest option, ideal for a first taste without wearing yourself out.
Odysseas Bay – Alonaki (~5 hours): toward the Fanari/Preveza side, for something less crowded.
Sea kayak Plataria (~4 hours): exploring the coastline around Plataria.

A note: the exact details of each route depend on the weather and the make-up of the group. In poor conditions the tour is rescheduled for another day or fully refunded.

What the experience is actually like

A typical tour starts in the morning (usually 09:00), with arrival half an hour earlier for preparation and a short briefing. Before you get on the water the guide runs through the fundamentals — so no prior experience is required. Across dozens of public reviews, a few consistent patterns stand out:

A guide with you for the whole route (with a warm, personable approach and stories about local culture).
Stops to swim and snorkel at deserted beaches, with gear provided.
Snacks: the homemade sandwich and watermelon on the beach have become something of a signature.
Flexibility: the pace is shaped around what the group wants.

Who it's for (and what to keep in mind)

The activity is family- and beginner-friendly (children from around 5 years old). That said, a few things are worth knowing:
Fitness: you’ll want a basic comfort in the water and enough stamina for paddling.
Kayak type: by default the company provides double kayaks for stability. If you’d prefer a single, ask in advance when booking.
Weather: always contact the company beforehand, as the activities depend directly on the sea.
