Shore-accessed Sithonia reef off a Blue Flag beach.
Kalogria Reef is a shore-accessed reef on the Sithonia coast of Halkidiki, set off a busy Blue Flag beach in a sheltered bay. The dive starts over a shallow sandy patch beside a small rocky islet, then opens into reef and wall sections, so you can keep it relaxed or extend it for a deeper profile. Plan for a beach entry, a long surface swim to the reef, and summer parking pressure. The protected setting usually keeps the water calm and clear, with plenty of Mediterranean marine life.
