Plongée à Milos — Greece

Milos' volcanic geology created a coastline of over 70 beaches and countless sea caves that extend underwater into tunnels and caverns. Hot vents on the seabed attract unique bacterial mats and unusual macro life. The island's colourful fishing villages and Sarakiniko moonscape make topside as stunning as the dives.
