10 DAYS DISCOVERING THE SUBMERGE BEAUTY OF THE AEGEAN SEA 2/3 dives daily
Day 1: Athens
Athens, one of the world’s oldest cities, is the capital and largest city of Greece, dominating the Attica region. Arrival at the airport which is named Elefthérios Venizélos, started operating in 2001 and it is about 30 km from Athens. Transfer to the hotel. Overnight in Athens.
Day 2: Athens – City Tour
The contrast between the monuments of a glorious past and the modern elegant structures is what you will enjoy most during your tour of Athens. Overnight in Athens.
Day 3: Lavrio
After breakfast, transfer to the port of Lavrio for the embarkation in the gullet. Overnight on board.
Day 4: Makronisos – Kea
The cargo vessel Apollonia VI, built in 1955, hit the reef on the 10th of June 1980. Today it offers a very nice dive to both beginners and advanced scuba divers. Two of the biggest parts of the ship (the bow and the stern) are lying in relatively shallow water (18-24 m). Combined with the excellent visibility this site offers, it’s definitely a site worth revisiting. Overnight on board.
Day 5: Kea – Serifos
