Given the area was once a volcanic region, there are some fantastic underwater adventures to be had within the three peninsulas, including steep drop offs and overhangs. Rich underwater flora vary depending on the dive site and season whilst the abundance of marine life make for a colourful spectacular.
Octopus, groupers, jacks, wrasse and mullets are sited all year with tuna making an appearance in these Mediterranean waters between May-September. Most of the dives in Halkidiki are shore dives and suit all certification levels. A popular spot amongst divers is Bahia Beach were you will find a stunning reef with sea anemones, lobsters, moray eels and many more.
