Porto Valitsa is a sheltered Kassandra bay dive with a sandy start that quickly turns rocky and drops into a wall with ledges, overhangs and posidonia. You can reach it by road or join a boat dive, and it suits relaxed wall exploration more than hard swimming, with regular groupers, moray eels, octopus, seabream and nudibranchs.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight over the rocky steps and overhangs, and watch the depth change once the wall starts to drop.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
After the sandy start, divers can work both directions along the wall, over ledges and around overhangs for a relaxed scenic run.
Freediving
The shallow bay start can suit relaxed freediving on calm days, but the deeper wall is better left to scuba.
Snorkeling
The shallow bay can work for snorkelling and fish watching on calm days, but the wall and drop-off are better as a dive.
