Porto Valitsa, located near Paliouri on the Kassandra peninsula in Chalkidiki, is a renowned diving site in northern Greece offering a spectacular mix of sandy bottoms, posidonia meadows, and rock formations. This accessible dive begins in a vast underwater meadow before giving way to rocky blocks, overhangs, and drop-offs that gradually become deeper. Divers can observe a beautiful Mediterranean biodiversity: moray eels, octopuses, groupers, bream, as well as a multitude of small creatures hidden in the cracks and cavities such as lobsters, crabs, and crinoids. With its varied underwater landscapes and biological richness, Porto Valitsa is a must-dive near Paliouri to explore the marine depths of the Greek Macedonia region.
