    Limni Kournas is a freshwater lake dive, a nice change of pace from the usual Mediterranean salt. You’ll find European pond turtles, eels, and some small fish navigating the silty bottom. It's a calm, shallow dive, really ideal for those looking to test new gear or practice skills in very relaxed conditions. Visibility can be a bit variable depending on recent rainfall.
