Dive-site story
Located along the coast of East Attica near Nea Makri, this protected bay serves as one of the primary training and checkout dive locations for Athens-area dive centers. The seafloor slopes gradually from a pebble-and-sand shoreline into extensive Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows interspersed with low rocky outcrops. Calm conditions and straightforward navigation make it popular for both novice training sessions and relaxed night dives.
