About St. George
St. George is a boat-access wall reef at the end of Hersonissos Bay, named after a nearby church. The site is split into a shallow section and a deeper wall, with a small cave available when the guide thinks conditions are safe. Sheltered-bay conditions and straightforward structure make it a good easy-moderate option for mixed certified divers and calm-water snorkeling days.
