Cape Greco Underwater Caves
Dive site
The limestone headland of Cape Greco is riddled with sea caves, arches, and swimthroughs that continue below the waterline into a labyrinth unique in the eastern Mediterranean. The most dramatic feature — a natural arch at 18 metres — frames open-water views that draw photographers from across Europe. Inside the cave system, Mediterranean slipper lobster press against the roof in clusters; moray eels reach impressive size in the darkness. Torch required; the swim-throughs are spacious enough for recreational divers but require buoyancy control.
