Detailed itinerary
1
Your guide will pick up from your hotel in Kassandra and drive you to the dive site, a bay or a gulf. Magic can be seen on the road, as you find yourself captivated by the green color of Halkidiki, passing through pine forests and olive trees. After the briefing, you adjust your equipment and you enter the water from the shore easily, no long walk or swim. As you dive, your guide will point out all the samples of the Mediterranean sea fauna and flora.There's the chance you’ll find large predators like groupers but to take full advantage of your dives in Halkidiki, you have to slow down and think small: nudibranches, octopuses, seahorses, and other stealth critters wait to be explored and captured by you. Your dive ends according to your air limits or after one hour in the water. The surface intervals consist of hanging out, having a snack and water and enjoying the golden sand (in the shade!) or admiring the view from the top of the bay: in most places, pine trees growing down to the water’s edge. You will then go in for the second dive, on the same site but following a different path, usually visiting the other side of the bay. Your diving trip finishes by driving you back to your hotel after having discovered the secrets of the Greek sea, the Sea of Gods!
