Introducing a new adventure guide for people who love to travel and SWIM This is a pioneering swim travel guide with 30 locations around the Mediterranean island of Crete, where open water swimmers can discover routes between 25 meters and 6 km that have a particular beauty, novelty, scenery, or history. Explore impressive marine caves, fabulous beaches, circumnavigate islets, and swim through tunnels, gorges, and under sea arches. Swim in a bay where the great Odysseus once anchored his ships on his way to Troy, or over a WWII ship sunk on its way to rescue Allied troops. Experience amazing night swims to marvel at the brilliant stars above and flashing bioluminescent plankton below. Read extensive tips on open water swimming techniques, safety, preparation, gear, and navigation (piloting). Includes short swims for beginners, more difficult routes for advanced swimmers, and all are great for kayaking and stand-up paddling. Non-swimming friends and family will be visiting beaches that are among the most spectacular on the island. Each location has a satellite map of routes, accurate GPS coordinates, and photography to guide the swimmer. Enjoy a dynamic eBook version that can be read immediately where all information links and GPS coordinates are clickable.
