The program begins from the airport or the harbor where Surfing Crete will come and pick you up. You will be taken to the hotel to unpack your things and then the search for the best spot to surf begins.
You can surf until late afternoon or earlier if someone gets tired. During the day, you can have a lunch break or you can go directly for dinner after the session. The program is really flexible and can be adjusted according to what the group wants.
The surf spots in Crete are many so Surfing Crete will pick the ones that are uncrowded and fits better to the level of the group. The goal is to make sure that you will have fun and enjoy surfing in Crete!
