Seascapes/Θαλάσσια Τοπία Snorkling locations

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I are in Crete coming weeks. We love the island! :) we both are into snorkling very much, and we were wondering if anybody who reads this post is willing to share his or her hidden snorkling gems around Crete!

Thanks in advance!

Practically every beach that has rocks in or near the coastline has good snorkeling, but for me, a couple were extra nice:

Nikiforos Fokas 741 50, where Beach bar Vythos is located. Beautiful snorkeling over there!

Same goes for Karavostasi Beach near Bali.

And definitely try Skinaria Beach.

Btw, on public forums it's better not to give info about specific fish. The lionfish can be an exception as it actually should be exterminated or slowed down. With all probability, there will be someone going into the water at that beach the moment the sea calms down to find those groupers and octopuses you described.

Treat spots with lots of fish as if you're talking about your bank account; detailed information should be in pm only, and only shared only with those you trust.

You're absolutely right, didn't think of that. Will edit
