Marathia Caves
A sheltered bay beside a giant natural arch, with six shallow caverns no deeper than 6 m (the dive itself goes to about 12 m). Calcite and sulphur colour the walls, the surface turns milky white as you ascend in the first cave, and most caverns have air pockets where you can surface; the second has none. Certified divers only.
