SWIM TREKKING

Based in the picturesque town of Sivota, this swimming holiday in Greece gives you the opportunity to explore the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. From spectacular caves and tunnels to stunning underwater topography and marine life, there is always something to discover on this wonderful open water swimming adventure.

The quiet town of Sivota is situated on Greece’s western coast on the shores of the Ionian Sea. The hillside setting and surrounding landscape make for a beautiful base for the week and offer us the chance to explore the area’s coves, beaches and islands. The islands of Mourtemeno, Agios Nikolaos and Mavro Oros all sit between the mainland and the nearby island of Corfu – their craggy coastlines make them ideal to swim alongside and explore.

The nature of this trip means that we actively seek out caves, tunnels and swim-throughs over the course of the week, with our guides often jumping in the water with you to share in the experience.

Who is this trip for?

This trip is designed for swimmers who enjoy a combination of coastal swims, short crossings, and circumnavigations. With plenty of caves and tunnels to discover, it is a great option for the swimmer who likes to take the time to explore their surroundings as they swim. This trip is also well suited to non-swimming partners.

Swimmers should have a basic understanding of open water swimming and be capable of completing the average swim distance of 2.5km. The average daily swim distance is around 4km (split over a minimum of two swims) prior to the start of the trip.

We have given this trip a ‘Moderate’ grading. Most swimmers comfortable in the open water will be able to take part and enjoy one of these trips.
