Dive-site story
Located within the National Marine Park of Alonissos and Northern Sporades off Kyra Panagia, Agios Petros offers a calm bay environment surrounded by rugged Mediterranean cliffs. The site features a mix of scattered boulders, rocky reefs, and dense Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows that shelter a classic range of Aegean marine life. Occasional ancient pottery shards and amphora fragments rest cemented into the seabed, reflecting centuries of maritime traffic through these sheltered waters.
