Octopus Reef - Zakynthos & Ionian Islands

Octopus Reef in Zakynthos lives up to its name, with plenty of resident octopuses tucked into crevices and under rocks. It’s a gentle reef dive, generally calm and shallow, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs on the sponges too. We'd suggest going in the morning before any boat traffic picks up.
