Sheltered Paros islet dive with rocks, seagrass, and fish.
Drionisi is a sheltered Paros islet dive off Golden Beach, with a calm classic route and a deeper canyon variation around the same small landmark. The site is all about jagged rock, seagrass edges, scattered amphorae, and easy Mediterranean marine life, so it suits relaxed, short-hop diving when the sea around the island is settled.
