SNORKELING BY BOAT

This half day excursion will introduce students to a wide range of the underwater and reef life, much of which can be seen from the water’s surface. Water clarity often exceeds 75 feet at this time of year. Well preserved corals and vast quantities of fish of every shape, size and colour make this trip both memorable and instructive.

We will depart Playas del Coco by boat, motoring through the pristine waters. Once far from the main beach, our guide will lead us into the water, reviewing basic snorkelling techniques and ushering our attention to the diverse life forms of the water. We will enjoy a light lunch on board as we take in the coastal views.

Equipment included.

What to bring: Towel, bathing suit, water, change of clothes, hat, and sunscreen.
Duration: Half day

    MARGARITES VILLAGE, ANCIENT MONASTERIES, AND MELIDONI CAVE

    We’ll begin our excursion with a visit to the charming and hidden village of Margarites. Pottery has been a tradition here for generations, and many locals still create beautiful pottery, blending tradition with modern art. You'll have the opportunity to meet a local artisan who will demonstrate how the pots are hand-thrown. The village features unique architecture and winding streets, perfect for exploring. As we stroll through Margarites, we’ll enjoy the vibrant colors of the village before moving on to the next part of our journey. Next, we’ll visit the famous Arkadi Monastery, one of the most significant historical sites on the island. Located in the Rethymno region, the monastery is famous for its role during the Cretan Revolt of 1866, when it became a symbol of resistance against the Ottoman Empire. Visitors can admire the beautiful architecture of the church, dedicated to Saint Constantine, as well as the stunning rose garden. The monastery’s surroundings are full of flowers and plants, making it a lovely spot for reflection. We then make our way to the mountains of Crete, where Melidoni Cave is a place where nature and history intertwine.
