    CharacterCave dive
    StandoutDramatic cave topography

    Agios Pavlos Cliff and Caves offers a series of swim-throughs and small caverns carved into the coastline. The rock formations themselves are the main draw here, with light shafts piercing the darker sections on sunny days. It’s a site for divers who enjoy exploring geological features rather than seeking out abundant marine life. We'd suggest it for those looking for a relaxing, shallow dive with some interesting architecture.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
