Wind and water conditions
Local safety considerations include moorings and quays, navigation channels, wind. On the day of your outing at Kioni Ithaca, check the forecast, water conditions and local restrictions. Confirm the navigation limits that apply to your craft; this guide does not certify an authorised route. Greek sea-use rules (kayak): stay within 500 m of the coast, operate only between sunrise and sunset, and wear an individual lifejacket. Use is prohibited in adverse weather; private use is also prohibited in reduced visibility or winds above 5 Beaufort (38 km/h), subject to stricter specific rules. Lower wind speeds do not guarantee safety. These rules do not establish permission to launch locally.
