Snorkelling Excursion from Kissamos in Crete

Discover the turquoise, crystal clear waters of the Cretan sea as you swim with high-quality equipment that will allow you to explore the island's underwater wildlife on this snorkelling excursion from Kissamos! Crete's wildlife is known for including different species of octopus, sea urchins, sponges, turtles, different kinds of schools of fish, squids, and even dolphins and whales. Kissamos, located at the north end of the island, will have a healthy combination of this typical Cretan wildlife, but what you see depends on factors such as the time of year and weather conditions.

On the day of your snorkelling experience in Crete, you'll need to meet your instructor in Kissamos' city center and take a short car journey to your swimming start point. Starting from a small, pebbly beach with a natural rockpool, mainly visited by locals, you will swim along the rocky shoreline, accompanied by schools of fish and spotting sponges and seagrass clumps on the seafloor below.

Ducking through a low arch takes you into a spooky sea cave, where you can spot birds and bats roosting inside, as well as admire the strange lighting effects from the sun through the arch. Heading back into the sun, you'll continue along the coast to two towering WW2 era mining pylons, which now act as an artificial reef on the steep coast, before returning to the beach for the end of your snorkelling excursion from Kissamos.

You should know how to swim and be comfortable in the sea to be able to enjoy this amazing experience, as well as bring your swimsuit, towel, sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, and anything else you might need (medication, water, etc.) to spend an amazing 3 hours snorkelling in Crete!
