Bring some bread with you and feed the fish! Some good places in Paleochora for this are e.g. Methexis beach and the rocks in Pachia Ammos (either close to Castello snack bar or the canteen at the far east side of the beach).<br>Always practice caution when swimming in an unknown place. Even though many foreign travel agents tell their clients that there are no underwater currents around Crete, mild to strong currents frequently occur along the coast.<br>If you are heading out a longer distance away from shore than the average swimmer, always bring a buddy and a buoy<br>mark. Watch out for boats and jet skis (that may not see you) and beware that there can be fishing nets and long fishing<br>lines at unexpected places in the sea. Avoid touching or agitating sea life. Should you get stung by a poisonous fish try to keep the wounded area in hot water (as hot as you feel comfortable with) to lesser the effect of the poison until help<br>arrives.<br>When choosing a snorkelling tour operator, we strongly advice you only to use the dive centres\u2019 service. They are<br>professionally qualified to assist you should anything at all go wrong out at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to see fish, try swimming slowly in rocky areas.
