Destinika is a small sandy bay just north of Toroni with an easy shore entry and a gently sloping rocky seabed. It works well for relaxed snorkeling and beginner scuba, including Try Scuba and junior training, because the bottom is simple to read and the water usually stays calm in settled weather. The rocks add enough structure to keep the site interesting, with Mediterranean fish and octopus in the crevices.
