Dive-site story
Located along the rocky Athenian Riviera, this coastal cove is one of the primary training and recreational shore dives near Athens. Divers enter via rocky ledges into sheltered coastal waters that drop into terraced limestone shelves, boulders, and steep drop-offs. The seabed alternates between rock formations and patches of coarse sand, harboring typical Mediterranean species tucked into crevices.
Steep limestone walls and rocky shelves flanking the cove
Abundant octopus and moray eels sheltering in rock fissures
Convenient shore access favored for training and night dives
