Sporades Regional Unit

The Sporades Regional Unit in Thessaly spans a string of islands in the Aegean Sea, offering accessible coastal and island diving along the northeast Aegean. The area is known for calm, typically clear waters, with rocky shorelines and several sheltered bays hosting easy shore entries and short boat trips to nearby reefs. Dive interest centers around the Sporades archipelago’s small rocky habitats, occasional shallow wrecks and abundant marine life such as Mediterranean hulls, reef fish, octopus, and parrotfish, suitable for novice to intermediate divers. Access is convenient from local towns on the main island chain, with multiple ferry routes linking Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonnisos to the mainland.
