On the off chance I thought I'd ask! Anyone know of a shooting range near Heraklion airport in Crete ??

I don't want to shoot clays and I'm struggling to find anything else close. A few clubs that rent hand guns on the west coast but that's 2 hours from me.

I'm here for a couple of weeks so thought I'd have a look!

think theres a pistol range run by a greek monk down by aggi nik i believe think there a thread about it on here

I can't do find any contact details or an address online, no one unsurprisingly knows a gun wielding monk!

If you have any more information please share

simon reeve made a program about him actually not a bad shot from what i saw

Have you asked the Fallschirmjaeger ?

I've managed to find the location of a range but no contact details on line suggests it's not an pay & play type range.

Shame as the only other range (mentioned in posts above) is a good 2 1/2 hours away from where I'm staying.

A short trip to go shooting wouldn't have been a problem but 5 hours in a taxi on my honeymoon isn't ideal!

Get your self out in the country and try the locals, most people there have AKs and like.

I've not given up yet! I'll work on it.
