Stavros

Stavros is a coastal town on the north coast of Crete, facing the Aegean Sea. It serves as a gateway for divers exploring the surrounding dive sites along Crete’s northern coast. With a small number of local dive centers, most practical diving activity here is tied to day trips to nearby reefs and walls, accessible from Stavros and nearby towns. Expect typical Aegean conditions: warm seas in summer, clear water, and a range of shallow to moderate depth sites suitable for entry-level and intermediate divers. The area is more about convenient access to Crete’s underwater heritage than a single standout site, so many divers use Stavros as a base for local diving centers, boat departures, and shore dives along the coast.
