Description
Whether you love to fish, want to learn how to fish, or simply love fish, this is the experience for you. And Kythira’s lovely fishing village, Avlemonas, is the place to do it. Greece and its islands are famous for their fresh catches of the day and the sight of fishermen rolling into small harbors with yellow nets full of seafood is as typical of island life as the Acropolis is of Athens. Your private fishing excursion will let you experience this beautiful tradition first-hand.
Your captain, expert fisherman and destination angel will sail you away not only literally, but also with the stories that he will tell you about the process of collecting the nets, the art of fishing itself, the lives of fishermen on the island, its traditions and so much more.
We will sail to beaches that you’d never see on foot or by car, swim through their crystal waters to their empty shores, and even drift into some impressive caves. Local snacks and drinks will be available on board if you start to feel peckish. We will pull our catches on board and sail back to Avlemonas where you will enjoy the freshest of meals at the local taverna. Fresh fish is of course on the menu, as are crisp, garden-cut salads.
