Travellers aged 10 or older can learn to swim with a monofin, somersault underwater and blow mermaid bubbles, as well as mastering the basics of breath holding, a technique used by free divers. PADI launched its Mermaid Course in 2022, hoping to introduce aquaphiles to the underwater world in a whole new way. Guests at Sani Beach – one of five luxurious hotels within a biosphere reserve and specialising in outdoor ventures (including the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre and a Bear Grylls Surivial Academy) – can take part in a near-overwhleming amount of adventurous activities, including a thrilling mermaid experience at their onsite scuba centre, PADI Dive Center Seaworld. Now, fans of the idyllic Mediterranean destination can explore it anew thanks to diving professionals, PADI. Slate-coloured rocks jut from foamy surf, olive-tree bluffs slope into the distance and an amber sun burns bright.
The Grecian coastline might just be one of the most mermaid-tastic locations in the world.
