Diving

A city surrounded by sea, Athens is well known for the beauty of its beaches. What is equally or even more beautiful but far less well known though, is the sea bed in the Saronic gulf.

Near the coastal line from Vouliagmeni to Sounion, the sea bed in its deeper parts is rocky with fields of poseidonians. The environment provides the necessary circumstances for a complex ecosystem consisting of many different kinds of fishes and plankton. Divers have the opportunity to meet with a hidden world full of colors and rare species.

Most naval clubs in Athens have a scuba diving department and there are also many scuba diving schools, which can inform and guide you into the secrets of the sea bed around Athens.
