Greece – Ionian Islands
The Ionian islands run down Greece's western coast, and their limestone shores hide an unusual number of sea caves. On Zakynthos the Keri and Marathia coast has swim-through caves with milky sulphur water, an underwater arch and a turtle-nesting islet, Marathonisi, inside the National Marine Park. Paxos has big caverns on its west coast and a long cave inside the islet of Mongonisi. Corfu's north-west and north-east shores offer walls, caves and two wrecks near Nissaki. Lefkada has the drift and wall dives off Cape Ducato, and around Fiskardo in northern Kefalonia a local centre dives caves such as The Temple, a cliff drop-off and a 50 m barge wreck. Greek law now allows diving practically everywhere with a licensed centre, but wrecks over 50 years old, protected areas and archaeological zones are tightly controlled.
