Dive-site story
Rafti Island sits at the outer mouth of Porto Rafti Bay along the eastern coast of Attica. Underwater topography features rocky boulders, sloping reef sections, and occasional swim-throughs formed by tumbled limestone blocks. Ancient pottery shards embedded in rock fissures hint at the bay's long maritime history.
Rugged boulder fields with crevices hiding octopuses and morays
Occasional ancient amphora fragments embedded in the rocky substrate
Clear Aegean visibility along the outer island slopes
