Tourist Trap: Being ripped off in Comino

  • We went to Comino for snorkelling and have been told we could rent the equipment there. When we arrived, there was a stone platform (very comfortable!) with some chairs and sun umbrellas and 2 guys with very little snorkelling equipment. They wanted 15 Euros for fins, snorkel and mask per person and another 15 Euros as deposit, even though there was no possibility to escape! When we gave everything back to be able to buy something to eat, we were told:" Oh, you`ve been using the chairs, that`s another 10 Euros!"

    Anyway, there was not much too see underwater, but the scenery was nice!

    At Least Do This: there`s really not much to do, just go up the hill and enjoy the scenery! The blue lagoon is beautiful and also nice for swimming!

    Sorry, no photo, camera still did not work!!

     Interessant... mir schien es dort auch zu wenig zu sehen zu geben, deshalb war ich bisher noch nicht da!
