Go scuba diving in the Aegean Sea
The Aegean Sea’s mild teal waters make it popular for scuba diving. Just outside Athens, the Aegean Dive Centre (tel: +30 229 1053461; www.aquadiversclub.gr) arranges diving trips to nearby sites along the coast, including to sea caves and shipwrecks. If you have no previous experience, they also offer instructions for beginners and PADI courses.
