About Makronisi
Makronisi is a shallow boat dive on the south end of the island, following the western wall before crossing through a crevice to the eastern side. The route mixes wall, rock, and passage sections with white soft corals, small fish, moray eels, and occasional barracuda. It is a beginner-friendly Paros dive that still rewards a careful boat plan and a calm day.
