Mikros Mourtias Beach Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
10m - 35m
Depth Note
The reef starts around 10m, with the main wall and drop-off running to about 33-35m and the most interesting band around 15-25m.
Best Season

Typical Conditions
Sheltered cove, clear water, light current, and a shallow-to-wall profile that stays relaxed near the beach but drops more quickly at the reef edge.
Safety & Access At Mikros Mourtias Beach
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Do not let the beach entry lull you into a shallow-only plan; the reef drops faster than it looks from shore. Keep buoyancy tidy and turn the dive conservatively.
Access Restrictions
Expect a path or dirt-road approach rather than an organized beach club.
Legal Notes
Respect marine-park rules and local beach etiquette; avoid disturbing wildlife or the seabed.
