Peristeronisi is a protected snorkeling islet in the Toroneos Gulf, just off the coast of Toroni. The rocky islet sits in clear water and is explored from both the southeast and northwest sides, so the experience is about easy surface access and patient observation rather than depth. It is a quiet marine-area stop where garfish, bogues, painted combers, rainbow wrasses, moray eels, scorpionfish, and greater weever fish can be seen in their natural habitat.
