many parts of the Lycian coast, a small, sleepy fishing village has been

known to antiquity as AntiPhellos, lays the older colony of Phellos.

Grading the sea-kayak
trips
Sea kayaking tours are here divided
arbitrarily into four categories according to potential difficulty and
risk. It should be remembered that every situation is different and your
trip may not fit readily into one category or another.
CLASS 1:
Involve gentle tours
in sloughs and deltas, and in inhabited, non-challenging, protected waterways
not exposed to current more than one knot or open water. Such trips are
usually undertaken for a secondary purpose such as bird watching, photography,
etc. and call for a schedule of less than three hours per paddling day.
CLASS 2:
Involve protected
water tours in lightly populated areas with exposure to currents up to two
knots and crossings of one hour or more with a fetch greater than five
miles, sheltered coves and safe beaches every mile or so with small surf
and a schedule of less than six hours(4-hour) a day.
CLASS 3:
Involve exposure to remote
areas (half a day to the nearest known help), Open Ocean with crossings
up to two hours, exposure to a rough coastline that precludes landing
for up to two hours, currents that exceed 3 knots, or beaches with mild
to moderate surf.
CLASS 4:
Involves conditions beyond
CLASS 3.
Factors that increase the
seriousness of the trip include: - severe weather - use of single
rather than double kayaks - very young, old or handicapped clients - larger
group size - smaller staff to client ratio.
Factors that reduce the
seriousness of the trip include: - clients with skills and previous
kayaking experience - an accompanying support vessel - smaller group size
- larger staff to client ratio.
