Pythagorio Harbour: sheltered off-season harbour dive
Pythagorio Harbour: sheltered off-season harbour dive
Pythagorio Harbour is a shore-access harbour dive on the south side of the wall, best used off season when the marina is quieter. It is car-accessible and suits try dives and lessons, with rock formations, sand, and posidonia creating a simple, sheltered training feel. Boat traffic and seasonal wind still matter, so it is best timed around calmer harbour windows.
