First, let me give you an introduction. The Cretan Massage is in the same style of a Deep Tissue Massage, meaning it's a strong massage. If you already know what it is you can have an idea otherwise, to give you an idea, I don't take these massages to relax but more to be fixed, it's not a pleasant time but the pay off is worth the pain, trust me. Knowing that, it's time to give a review based on my experience. The Cretan Massage is unique by the product they are using: oil mixed with raki (if I'm not mistaking). The technique is close to a Deep Tissue and will help you to get rid of the tension in your muscles. The masseuse, was amazing and checked all the time if the pressure on my muscles was okay. I really enjoyed the experience and realised how much I didn't treat my muscles properly for a while and how I needed that massage. Highly recommend!!! Ps: as they explained, don't go in the water for an hour after the massage, let it cool first.
