Afalatosi, off the coast of Crete, gives you a classic Mediterranean reef dive. We usually see plenty of moray eels here, often peeking out from rocky crevices. It’s a pretty calm spot, which makes it good for newer divers or anyone wanting a relaxed second dive of the day. Visibility is generally solid, letting you take your time exploring the rock formations.
