The stunning underwater caves and caverns of this site are as beautiful as they are unique. As the only place on the island where you can dive in a cave and surface inside a mountain, the experience is further enriched by stalactites and a dazzling range of different blue hues throughout.
 
All three caves at the site can be entered with a single dive. And although the marine life here is not as prolific as at the reefs of Larnaka, it is certainly special; the caves are one of the few places on the island where you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the shy Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus).

An array of different coloured crabs also dwell here, as well assmall spotted cleaning shrimp. In the upper cave - where divers resurface - bats hang from the ceiling, amidst the minimal light that streams in through the crevices.
