    Porto Valitsa is a sheltered bay, making it a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. The rocky slopes descend gently, offering a chance to spot octopus hiding in crevices and small schools of Mediterranean fish darting between the rocks. We often see nudibranchs here, patiently grazing the algae. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, perfect for a slow afternoon.
