LIZA - Halkidiki

The Liza wreck, a former carrier, rests upright on the seabed at a comfortable 15 meters. She went down back in '81, so she's had plenty of time to become a proper home for the local residents. We’ve found schools of small fish zipping through the open cargo holds, and it’s a good spot to search for octopuses tucked into crevices. Her sheer size, over 115 meters long, means there's a lot to explore without needing to go deep, making it a solid choice for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed multi-dive day.
