About The Anchor

The Anchor is a boat dive in Corfu’s Paleokastritsa area, centered on a historic anchor and chain from a lost steamer. A pair of small caves nearby add shape and variety, so the site feels more like a compact wreck-and-rock dive than a simple marker stop. It suits certified divers who are comfortable with an AOW-level profile and want clear water, easy orientation, and a guided trip. Keep the plan conservative if wind or swell builds on the west coast.

Scuba Diving

A straightforward guided boat dive with a clear anchor-and-chain centerpiece and a couple of cave sections to explore.
