Kastri
Kastri is Lefkada's sheltered reef-and-amphora dive.
Shore-access reef dive in Lefkada with a shallow sheltered start, cracks and swim-throughs, and a local amphora feature.
About Kastri
Kastri is Lefkada's sheltered reef dive, known for a shallow bay entry, big rocks, cracks, and swim-throughs that give the site a playful shape. The route starts easy and then opens out along the reef, so it works well for divers who like a calm entry with a bit more to explore farther out. An ancient amphora adds a historical touch without turning the dive into a strict wreck run. Clear Ionian water and steady local conditions make it a good fit for both scuba and snorkel plans in the shallows.

Local Intel For Kastri
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Begin in the sheltered bay, follow the reef and rock line, and use the cracks and swim-throughs as the main route features. The deeper section is best for scuba with solid buoyancy control.
Freediving
Freedive use is best kept to the shallow bay section; the full reef route is better left to scuba.
Snorkeling
The sheltered bay and shallow start can suit snorkelers, but the deeper reef and amphora are beyond useful snorkel range.
