    Ksyla Bay sits within the Alonissos Marine Park, a good spot for a relaxed dive. We’ve found the bay offers a gentle introduction to the local underwater scene, suitable for newer divers or those looking for an easy day. You’ll typically see schooling fish, sea bream, and sometimes a passing loggerhead turtle gliding over the sandy patches and the scattered rocky reefs. It’s a pleasant dive, not one for dramatic encounters, but reliably calm.
