Limestone caverns, volcanic walls, and Lampione sharks at Europe's southern edge
Key fee: Authorized guided scuba or apnea access
Included in operator pricing; no separate visitor tag verified
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
No standalone visitor tourism levy or individual marine-park diver tag was identified in the official 2026 materials reviewed. For nonresident scuba and apnea divers, protected-area access is handled through an authorized center and its annual authorization, so the traveler normally pays the operator's package price rather than buying a personal tag.
Private recreational vessels need the relevant marine protected area authorization and pay a size- and validity-based fee. Rabbit Beach access is free but reservation-controlled during the published 2026 summer season. Rules and fees are issued annually, so verify the current discipline, reserve calendar, and any accommodation charge before travel.
