Loutra

Located just a short distance from our dive center, we explore two unique dive sites that will amaze you with both their underwater wonders and breathtaking surroundings.

Aggeleti's Rock : Across the Gods

Unknown to divers, the site is majestic, decorated by pinnacles with a view to Mount Olympus on the horizon. Although we don’t go deep, the profile being suitable for divers of all levels of experience, the bottom is fascinating: on the right side, you visit tunnels and caves, the top of which is open, and, on the left side, you dive a reef. Its rocky bottom is covered by plants and marine life in abundance: octopuses, sargus fish, red mullets, starfishes, nudibranchs, anemones.

Porto Ilios: "The bubblemaker"

Just under the Spa’s hill, where the thermal source is, the site is unique for the magnificent view of gas bubbles coming out of the sand bed in the water. But it is not only this geophysical particularity: on the left side, the deepest, one we could meet groupers, sargus fishes, yellow amberjacks while in the right side we encounter very often murmurs and a lot of shellfishes.

Avlaki : The Big Blue

The diving site, an ancient port, is on the west side of Kassandra peninsula, at the end of Thermaikos Bay. It is famous for its crystal clear water, its variety of life and its beautiful precipices. Sand and beautiful rock formations alternate all over the seabed. Avlaki in Greek means “furrow” and, actually, the rock sloping massif forms a furrow that you follow as you go deeper. Furthermore, in that site, it is unlikely to meet other divers underwater, but the passing of dolphins is not to exclude!

Valitsa Bay : “The popular”

This spot, located on the east side of Kassandra peninsula, is near The Cape of Paliouri.

Left coast - Porto Valitsa

The left side of Valitsa Bay is also known as Porto Valitsa. You start your dive following a sandy path among a posidonia forest. Then, the bottom becomes rocky and progressively deeper with steps and, big rocks, and overhangs with vegetation are scattered all over the place. There, you may see moray eels, octopuses, groupers and sargus fish.

Right coast - The Myth of Wall Diving

The entry point is easy to approach, even though the shore is very rocky. Your dive will begin at about 4 – 5m and, very quickly, the field of sea grass is succeeded by the boulders. Progressively, you go deeper till you reach the vertical façade. Looking carefully at the front, but also at the crevices and holes of the wall, you are going to see crinoids, lobsters, crabs and other creatures of all sizes and shapes.

We also dive at Koursaros, Kanistro, Kalogria Beach in Sithonia, and several other exciting spots.

Mytilini Wreck

On the west side of Kassandra peninsula, lies Mitilini wreck (its name comes from the homonymous capital of Lesvos, a Greek island in the Aegean sea). The German flag cargo ship is 40m long and lies entire at a depth of 20 m. Mitilini sank in 1961 by hitting a reef during a big storm. It was fully loaded with bottles of wine, some of them still lying intact all over the boat. The wreck is a favorite spot for dolphins and tunas, as well as moray eels, groupers and sargus fish. Oysters, corals and fan worms decorate it.

* Site available from May to mi-June and from mi-september to the end of October
