Greece

Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki sits away from direct coastal dive sites, but its status as Greece’s major northern city makes it a practical gateway for regional diving. The Aegean Sea is reachable within an hour or two by car or short boat trips from the city, with nearby ports offering access to reef drops, wall dives, and island itineraries. Within the city itself, diving is limited; visitors typically use Thessaloniki as a base for day trips to nearby dive centers and offshore sites, or for training and gear preparation before a broader Aegean itinerary.
