reece is a country that's known for its beautiful beaches, historic ruins, and mouthwatering cuisine. But what many people don't know is that Greece has another hidden gem: Messinia. This incredible region in the Peloponnese peninsula offers some of the best outdoor sports in the world!
Kite Surf
Kite surfing is a fun activity for all ages. It’s possible to learn quickly and practice at a beginner level, alone or with friends. You can do it any time of the year, no matter how much wind there is!
Paddle Surf
Paddle surfing is a fun, unique sport that you can enjoy in the Messinian waters. Paddle surfing involves standing up on a surfboard and paddling forward with your hands. It’s great for people who want to learn wakeboarding, but don’t have access to a wakeboard park or lake nearby.
Windsurf
Windsurfing is a sport where the rider is carried on a board by wind power. The rider steers the board with a sail and controls his speed with a paddle.
Snorkeling – Diving
Snorkeling is a great way to explore the underwater world. It’s a fun activity for all ages, and it doesn’t require you to be particularly skilled in swimming or diving.
The Messinian Sea offers plenty of opportunities for snorkeling, as the water is warm and shallow enough that you can access many sites within just a few meters from the shoreline. If you’re looking for something with more depth, there are also some spots in Messinia where snorkeling becomes more challenging because of strong currents and treacherous terrain. Snorkeling allows you to see amazing marine life like sea turtles and dolphins up close!
Kayak

Mountain Bike

The region has over 30 trails that meander through the mountains, so there’s something for everyone. If you prefer smooth trails with less climbing involved, there are plenty of options for that too.

Paragliding

Paragliding provides an exhilarating experience as well as great photo opportunities from above ground level too which make it worth trying out if you’re ever going near a cliff face anywhere near Messinias’ coastline!
