3.Plakias: Try Scuba Diving first time – Private, from 8 yrs.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $174

At Dive2gether Crete in Plakias, you learn basic scuba skills, take your first breaths underwater, and explore Mediterranean sea life with one instructor for every two people. The program suits ages eight and up, includes equipment, transport, and water, and visits Skinaria, Plakias, or Souda Beach.

“Had an amazing time! Such beautifull scenary and super nice staff, I had Bart as my instructor and he was lovely and very thorough and kind. Lunch at the tavern next to the beach costs around 6-10 eur, we don’t recommend neither the carbonara or the bolognese but the sallads and the omelets looked good but that is besides the point. After the dive you can purchase your pictures they take and those costs 19eur but in my opinion worth the prize. when we where there they offered a little discount if you paid in cash which is a plus.”
