PLEASURE BAY: KINKY CRETE WEEKEND RETURNS FOR SECOND YEAR

Pleasure Bay, the kinky Cretan getaway launched by Germany’s Marquis magazine and events promoter SubRosaDictum in 2022, returns for a second outing this October. The four-day event takes place on October 27-30 at the four-star Hotel Istron Bay, which is located about 10km from the famous resort of Agios Nikolaos on the Greek island’s ‘wild’ north coast.

Between these dates, the hotel will be reserved exclusively for Pleasure Bay participants. But people who would like to enjoy a longer stay at the hotel can also book an earlier arrival or extend their stay beyond the set dates, or both.

Anyone choosing to arrive earlier will be sharing the hotel with non-kinkster guests, which means no pervery in public! However, from Oct 27 onwards the hotel will be closed to the public, and fetish folk will be able to play in all the hotel’s spaces including its private beach and seawater pool.

Two four-day/three-night Pleasure Bay packages are available, both offering double rooms with sea-view balconies and half-board (breakfast and evening buffets). For double occupancy of the room, the price is €1,090 (€545 per person); for single occupancy, it’s €690 per person.

Other dining attractions on offer at the hotel include late risers’ breakfast until 1 pm; meals to buy in the in-house beach restaurant at lunchtime and in the afternoon; and a varied dinner buffet with a Greek barbecue at the beach restaurant on Fridays.

Other costs such as flights to Crete and transfers from Heraklion airport to the hotel are not included in the package prices. The cost of extra days in the hotel before and after the set dates is €100/night single occupancy and €145 for double occupancy.

They are: FabrikC (M’era Luna, WGT, Amphi Festival), The Professor (Wall 7, Pleasure Bay 22), fujiKATO (Süss.war.gestern – Berlin) and Shady Miles (SubRosaDictum, U60311, ADE, PleasureBay22).

Last but definitely not least, since no Mediterranean escape (or escape attempt) can be said to have actually happened unless there are pictures, Pleasure Bay will play host to three fetish photographers, all of whom can be booked to provide individual personalised shoots for guests complete with styling and make-up.

First of this year’s three ’togs is legendary Marquis founder Peter W Czernich (pictured above), who continues a very productive association with the magazine and its new owner Andreas Reichardt. Also on shooting duties (and both shown below) are Germany’s much-admired purveyor of high-gloss latex photography, The Agency For Strange Behaviour, and Scotland’s Killer Heels Photography, twice voted UK fetish photographer of the year.

These photographers have undertaken to provide 20-30 fully edited, high-resolution images from individual shoots no later than one week after the event, at a cost for unlimited use of €299.
