Sheltered boat-access bay for relaxed beginner dives.
Boat-access sheltered bay near Palea Epidavros that works well as a relaxed fallback when the sea is less settled. The site is more about easy planning, rocky scenery, and steady fish life than big depth. Expect a straightforward boat drop, simple route-finding around the rocks, and a calm-water feel that suits beginner guided dives.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive for new or returning divers. The draw is shelter, easy orientation, and fish around the rocks rather than depth or current.
Freediving
Possible only in a very conservative boat-supported format; scuba is the stronger use case.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here; the site makes more sense for boat-supported scuba than for a self-guided surface session.
