Canyons
★★★★☆
(177)
Canyons is a unique dive as it has a complex meandering route going around the rock formations offset from Dryonisi island. This dive site can be accessed even if the wind is very strong, but is more suitable for advanced divers with good air consumption.
Here you can often see schools of barracuda at the beginning of the season. Sometimes you are fortunate enough to see Amber Jacks and, on several occasions, turtles.
