SCUBA DIVING WITH LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLE IN GREECE
This is our little recap from our diving experience while doing the PADI certificate for Open Water Diver at Hippocampos Bali Dive Center in Crete, Greece.
If you are going to Crete in Greece, then Bali is a really nice little village to visit and stay at. It has 4 beaches which are all reachable in walking distance. The restaurants are all nice and have good service and quality, the prices are fair and not as pricey as for example Santorini and the sea water is clear.
We had a really awesome experience doing our OWD at Hippocampos! The staff, Corrine, Angelos and Alexandros were all really nice and they gave us the feeling to be part of this whole diver's family from the beginning already. The focus of the sessions was learning and experiencing something new and diving was only in small groups - not like a machinery! There were also no time limits so we were under water as long we still had air in our tanks. Also, when we offered to pay the whole amount at once in advance they declined and wanted one part in advance and one part at the end only.
Our instructor Aurelien was truly the BEST! He had a lot of patience, encouraged us when we felt unsure with all the learning and he truly transferred his passion to us! He made the whole learning and practising the challenging under water skills very easy. We can't wait to dive AGAIN and hopefully with Aurelien again very soon!
We will never forget this experience so once again - a BIG THANK YOU TO HIPPOCAMPOS BALI DIVE CENTER AND AURELIEN!

Bali is in Rethymno Prefecture on the island of Crete in Greece. It has several beaches of varying size and countless hotels and apartment complexes. It has beautiful beaches for you to go and relax on your holidays.
Heraklion and Rethemnon both have ports and Heraklion has an airport. You can get from these towns to Balí by bus or taxi from there. If you want to leave or arrive by bus, try fitting the schedule in with the little tour-bus/train that runs around Balí, so you don't have to walk all the way to or from the main road which is 2 kilometres from the village centre. If it's really hot just wait in the shade until the little train comes, so you don't have to walk in the sun into town. There are no benches, and the concrete slab where the train stops is hard, so a soft seat pad will come in handy if there's a long wait.
If you choose vacation destination by price, please be advised that some tour operators like Ving.no do not include nor offer bus transfer to and from the Heraklion airport for travellers to Balí, so keep the taxi-fare of 50Euro or more in mind. You can order a taxi in advance on-line, but the price seems to be higher than when you just hail a taxi when you arrive, so why bother?
Using a taxi isn't very practical for short trips, since they must be ordered from Rethemnon or Irakleo. Use the little train if it's practical if you want to avoid walking when the sun is too bright. The little train is not just a tour - it is a practical way of getting from A to B in Balí. Wait at one of the signs or hail it anywhere and get in when it stops (the conductor will look you up on one of the next stops and sell you a ticket).
There are several companies that offer rental cars (and scooters) in Balí, so you should be able to compare prices. Remember to bring an international driver's license if you come from a non EU/Schengen-agreement country. Wearing a helmet while driving a motorcycle is mandatory, but not too strictly enforced, but remember that your health-insurance may be void if you have an accident while not wearing a helmet.
Wearing black is a Crete custom and you'll see both men and women do it. Cretans are mainly orthodox Christians, so most shops outside of pure tourists villages like Balí close on Sundays, restaurants are open also on Sundays. Holding rosaries aren't always for praying -a local told me that they fiddle with them for reducing stress.
Cretans seem to smoke a lot and smoking is allowed/tolerated almost everywhere including at the McDonald restaurant in Heraklion (I didn't think McDonald's main office allowed that!). Don't expect smoking bans to be enforced 100%.
If you don't like air-conditioning, bringing or buying a fan if you stay in the middle of summer is highly recommended. You can get a a small desk-fan in Rethemnon for as little as 13 Euro. Otherwise, most hotels offer air-conditioning.
Almost all guide-books for the area and information from travel agents tell you to save on electricity by turning off the lights every time you leave a room, but I observed a lot of street-lights and other outside lamps that was burning also all day long.
Water is heated mainly by solar power, so don't expect warm water for showering when there is no sunlight.
Don't flush down the paper, use the bin -I'm not certain that the fear the locals have of blocked pipes are well funded or just “sewage paranoia”.
Don't come to Balí if you are mobility disabled and don't have assistance - the entire island of Crete seems to be ridden with wheelchair obstacles. Balí hotels are often situated on the steep hills around the village, and I haven't seen any lifts nor escalators anywhere.
Don't expect all bars/restaurants to accept credit cards as some accept cash only. There is an ATM on the road up from town (Between the Doctors office and Mythos restaurant), so withdraw before you dine.
Don't come to Balí for the wild parties that last all night long as they don't seem to exist. There are other desinations (and other Greek islands) that has a more happening party scene.
Diving: Go on an arranged dive, or get your International Padi divers license at Hippocampus diving centre. Go to the port and follow the sign next to the cruise booking office. There are also day long excursions by boat to other beaches and towns. Some include lunch. Book at the harbour or in one of the booths close to the more remotely situated hotels.
There are lots of tourist shops all over the village that sell souvenirs, food and beach-stuff. Go to the bigger towns Heraklion and Rethemnon for all other shopping.
Don't go to Heraklion or Rethemnon on Sunday for shopping as everything is closed.
The local grape hooch is Raki. Somewhat similar to grappa. The local wine is Retsina, and is dry white wine
