Castle Toroni is a sheltered snorkel site over ancient harbor ruins.
Castle Toroni is a sheltered snorkel site in Toroni harbor, where the ancient town's walls and harbor stones sit just below the surface. It is a slow, close-up stop for history and marine life, with calm water and short-range viewing around the castle and the moored boats. The setting is more about relaxed shoreline exploration than open-water exposure, which makes it a good fit when you want clear water and a low-key swim over historic ruins.
