Cyclopes Caves
One of the most beautiful dive sites of Cape Greco. It is named after the cave above the site that legend makes the hideout of the one-eyed Cyclops: a half-submerged grotto with huge boulders, seagrass and sand. The dive starts at a shallow entry and drops along a cliff to about 45 m, with moray eels, groupers, sea urchins, nudibranchs and lionfish. It suits everyone from beginners at the top to technical divers deeper.
