    Korfos, off the coast of Crete, offers a pleasant Mediterranean dive. You’ll find typical rocky topography with small caves and overhangs, home to moray eels and octopus. It's a relaxed site, good for knocking off some rust or for less experienced divers looking for calm conditions and a gentle introduction to the local marine life.
