This area named after the Ancient Greek Goddess Aphrodite offers two dive sites within its vicinity. Both are easy and safe with crystal clear waters and a bottom that is sandy and rocky, whilst also having their own, unique charms.
A large volcanic rock emerging from the sea marks the site of Aphrodite’s Rock whilst the adjacent Aphrodite Island has a shallow cove that allows divers to then walk into the water.
At Aphrodite’s Rock, colourful stones unfold to a meadow of Posidonia seagrass. Turtles favour the spot during mating season and marine life mingles in the cracked rocks of the outcrop. The site is especially suitable and safe for night dives.
At Aphrodite Island there are small swim through canyons and the nooks and crannies of the natural formations hide a rich variety of marine life.

Divers will spot grouper, moray eels, stingrays, squid, octopi and wrasse, among other species.
