Legrena - Alonissos Marine Park

Legrena sits on the edge of the Alonissos Marine Park, offering a quiet dive in the Mediterranean. We found a gentle slope here, good for working on buoyancy or just enjoying the peace. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into the rocks and the occasional moray eel peeking from crevices. It’s a solid spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re looking to escape the crowds.
