Dive sites in Greece

Off the northwest coast of Naxos near the islet of Graviera, this reef surrounds the rock formation known locally as Frouros, or The Guard. Granite boulders, fissures, and overhangs support encrusting sponges and algae. Ancient ceramic fragments wedged into deep crevices mark historical Cycladic maritime routes, while cuts and swim-throughs guide divers along ledges populated by Mediterranean marine life.

Sunk after striking Amarides Reef in 1981, this Dutch-built cargo vessel lies in two sections between Naxos and Paros. The stern rests upright on a sandy slope with swim-throughs around the engine room and deck machinery, while schooling fish gather around the broken bow. Sunlight reaches the entire wreckage through the Aegean water.

The cargo ship Giannoula K sits upright on a sandy seabed off the southeast coast of Rhodes near Plimmiri. Sunk in a 1981 storm, the vessel remains largely intact, exposing open cargo holds and decks draped in marine growth across the Dodecanese wreck site.

Located along the southeastern coast of Rhodes near Lindos, Pefkos provides sheltered coastal diving among rocky reefs, sand patches, and Posidonia oceanica meadows. Boulders, small overhangs, and swim-through formations shelter Mediterranean species across the seabed.
