GIANNOULA K

The Giannoula K offers a proper peek into the past, sitting upright and pretty much intact at just 13 metres. We’re talking about a 110-metre freighter that ran aground in 1981, and honestly, you feel that history when you’re down there. It’s not just a pile of metal; it’s a whole ship to explore. You can swim along the deck, peer into the holds, and really get a sense of its scale. Our favourite parts are the masts, still standing proud, now draped in soft corals and sponges. Schools of damselfish shimmer around them, and we’ve often spotted moray eels peeking from shadowy crevices within the hull. It’s a photographer's dream on a clear day, with sunlight dappling through the superstructures. This site is brilliant for newer wreck divers or anyone who loves a relaxed, lengthy exploration. The lack of current means you can really take your time, tracing the ship’s lines and imagining its final journey. Just watch your buoyancy; some sections are tighter than they look.
