Why dive here
Spilies is a dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Spilies, on the north coast of Crete, is a good spot for a relaxed dive. We've often found small groupers tucked into the rocky crevices here, alongside plenty of colourful wrasse darting through the seagrass. It’s an easy entry, making it suitable for newer divers or those looking for a gentle afternoon dip. Visibility usually hovers around 15-20 metres, offering clear views of the sandy bottom.
