PANAGIA PHANEROMENI

Panagia Phaneromeni is our pick for a deeper wreck dive in Alonissos, a real standout in the Marine Park. Dropping down to 40 metres, you're greeted by a truly massive bulk carrier, sunk back in '92. We love that it’s still so intact for its age and depth. The sheer scale is what gets you; you can really appreciate the engineering of a ship this size, dwarfing you as you descend along the hull. What makes it special isn't just the size, though. Marine life has made itself at home here, transforming the metal into a vibrant artificial reef. Swarms of anthias flit in and out of the superstructure, and we've often spotted good-sized groupers tucked away in the darker recesses. The stern, with its huge propeller, is a particular highlight, often attracting schools of barracuda hanging in the gentle current. Visibility here is usually excellent, giving you clear views of the entire wreck from a distance before you get up close. It’s a dive for those comfortable with deeper profiles, offering plenty of time to explore the exterior and reflect on its history.
