About Makri Island
Makri Island is a Rhodes marine-park stop built around boat access, fish farms, and a shallow wreck feature. The site is best known for snorkeling among dense fish schools, with dolphins and tuna often part of the broader route. Plan it as an easy guided excursion rather than a hard technical dive, with the fish-farm area and the boat trip doing most of the work. It suits beginners, families, and anyone who wants wildlife over depth.
