Plongée à Zakynthos — Greece
Zakynthos' main underwater draw is its loggerhead sea turtles — the island hosts the Mediterranean's most important nesting beach. The Blue Caves in the north create dramatic light effects underwater, and the sea floor around the famous Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach offers cave and wall dives in stunning Ionian visibility.
