    We usually find the east end of Plakias Beach a decent spot for a relaxed shallow dive. It's mostly sand with some scattered rocks, where we often spot small octopuses and blennies tucked into crevices. The conditions here are generally calm, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. It won't blow your mind, but it’s a perfectly pleasant way to spend an hour underwater.
