Pothitos Reef (xera) is a boat-access reef off the Athens Riviera with a shallow start that quickly opens into a broad vertical wall. It suits multilevel dive planning, with calm water, usually little current, and a lively wall covered in soft corals, sponges, and small fish life. The site is a good fit for divers who want a structured boat reef with room to move up and down the wall without a complicated entry.
