Vacation on the Med

[Oriskany Divemaster]

I'm planning on coming the Mediteranean next summer and I'm looking for a place to stay and I need your help on where to stay. I want to be close to the beach, the market, downtown, etc...and I'm willing to pay for it. I plan on three-four months there with access to diving, clubs, groceries, etc. I'll go anywhere from Sardinia to Crete, so if you have any insight, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Eric

Not quite where you mention but I lived and dived along the Cote d'Azur in France. I lived in Antibes which has everything you list and more.

People place their vacation homes up for rent and some are quite affordable. Like having an apartment for a couple months without all the hassle.

Goodluck, I'm super jealous.

Hi Eric,
what's about Sardinia?

Not one of the cheapest locations, but one of the most beautiful.
Wreck, cave and cavern diving, viz usually above 100' and water temp 70-80,s,
excellent food and drinks and cool italian friendness and lifestyle.

Best regards

What about North Cyprus, water temp 28/29 July and August, no euro in the North so cheap living, good diving as no commercial fishing and the reefs are protected from the local fisherman which there are only a handful, big grouper , tuna, amberjacks, lots of turtles, octopus, Barracuda etc, locals very friendly, crime virtually zero and £1 a pint, been here 3 years and love it.

Oops nearly forgot, we also have one of the top ten wrecks in the world here, the Zenobia a Swedish Ro-Ro ferry which sunk in 1980 with its £200 million cargo aboard including 104 lorries, depths vary from 16m down to 42m.
