“The only part me and my partner don’t like was the meat/fish market aspect at the beginning, we are vegetarian and so don’t get much out of this aspect of the tour, and turned our stomachs a little. The rest of the tour was great, with the olives, fruit and veg, very authentic.

Try a first scuba lesson in Crete’s clear Agia Pelagia Bay with a PADI instructor, small groups, hotel pickup, and underwater video options.
“The most incredible experience of my life! I was respectfully nervous because I knew it would be a new and potentially dangerous (if you don’t do as you’re told!) activity to do but it didn’t take long to feel safe with our guide Pedro, his fiance and his diving instructor friend.
