Challenging shore entry with ladders and rocks, so plan this as an experienced-diver site or use boat support when conditions allow.
About Canyon, Cape Greco
Canyon, Cape Greco is a cliffside dive on Cyprus's south-east tip, with a canyon entry, wall sections, boulders, and swim-throughs that make the terrain the main attraction. The shore route is the tricky part: ladders or rocky access can be compromised after rough weather, so it suits experienced divers and often works better with boat support. On calm days the water is clear and the route rewards a slow exploration of the wall and deeper section.

Local Intel For Canyon, Cape Greco
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
A challenging canyon-and-wall dive for experienced divers, with cliff formations, swim-throughs, and a slower scenic route when conditions are calm.
Freedive
Not a primary freedive site; the ladders, depth, and canyon profile make it better suited to scuba.
Snorkel
Not a strong snorkeling choice because the main features sit below comfortable surface-swim range and the entry is awkward when the sea moves.
