Amorgos wall dive with pockets, caverns, and clear water.
Nikouria is a scenic Amorgos wall dive with a clean blue slope, pockets, and cavern sections that hold sponges, small reef fish, and macro life. It suits divers who want a readable island profile with real depth change, but it still rewards steady buoyancy and a calm, methodical pace. Expect clear water, mild movement, and a classic Aegean open-water feel rather than a heavy drift.

Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best in the calm shallower water; the deeper wall sections are better left to scuba.
