Porto Ennia in Attica is a versatile shore dive offering beautiful underwater topography, rich macro life, and depth options for different certification levels.
Dive Overview
Porto Ennia may not be as famous as some of the nearby dive sites, but it offers an excellent and highly enjoyable dive experience.
The site combines walls, terraces, and deeper sections with good marine life and flexible dive profiles, making it suitable for a wide range of divers.
There are two main access options: either enter directly from the beach or park near the path leading to the rocks on the right side of the bay.
Entry & Conditions
The beach is a beautiful mix of sand and large pebbles, ideal for swimming and relaxing if non-divers are joining the trip.
No facilities or shops are available directly on the beach, so it is best to arrive fully prepared.
Entry is from the right side of the bay, following a route parallel to the rocky shoreline.
Conditions are generally calm, making navigation straightforward.
What You ‘ll See
Once you reach sufficient depth, descend and continue along the coastline with the shore on your right shoulder.
The underwater terrain combines walls and terraces, allowing divers to choose their preferred depth profile depending on experience and certification level.
The maximum depth exceeds 40 meters for those seeking deeper exploration.
Beyond the attractive topography, attentive divers can encounter a surprising amount of macro life hidden throughout the reef.
Important Consideration
- No facilities nearby
- Deep sections beyond recreational limits

Tips for divers
