Samos Limnionas cape - Dodecanese

Off Limnionas cape, Samos offers a typical Mediterranean wall dive, dropping away into the blue. We've found various schooling fish here, like small barracuda and damselfish flitting amongst the rocks. It’s a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, particularly if you’re looking for a quiet spot away from the island's busier areas. Visibility is generally good, making it pleasant for newer divers to explore.
