Calm North Evia shore dive with clear water.
Ilia Evia Island is a calm North Evia shore dive with clear green-blue water, a quiet pebble-beach feel, and shallow rocky pockets that deepen gradually away from the entry. It is best as an easy exploration dive on a flat day, when the shore entry stays simple and the small rock features are easiest to read. Wind and chop are the main things to watch, so the site rewards a relaxed plan rather than pushing a marginal sea.
