Attica and the coast offer classic Greek seafood: grilled sardines, fried kalamari, and the retsina and Assyrtiko wines, with Piraeus’ fish market a highlight for fresh catch. Across Notable Additional Wrecks, the table leans on olive oil, lemon, herbs and the day's catch, with grilled fish, horiatiki salad and slow-cooked stews appearing everywhere. Mezedes — small shared plates — are the social heart of an evening, best washed down with a chilled local white or ouzo. Vegetarians are well served by dishes built on wild greens, pulses and cheese, and bakeries turn out savoury pies through the day.

Beyond the regional wrecks, Greece holds a handful of iconic shipwrecks that deserve their own listing. The MS Mediterranean Sky is a massive ferry lying on its side in Eleusis Bay near Athens, an iconic rusting structure for advanced penetration divers. The S/S Oria is a wartime grave site off Patroklos Island at 30-45 m, a sobering and protected wreck. The HMS Perseus, the WW2 submarine, is cross-listed under Kefalonia but is a headline technical dive. These wrecks span cargo, passenger and naval history and are for experienced divers with the right certification, offering dramatic, fish-rich structures and a direct link to Greece’s maritime past.

Notable Additional Wrecks

The Mediterranean Sky is reached by boat from Piraeus or Eleusis; the Oria is off Patroklos Island south of Athens. Both need advanced certification and a licensed operator; the Perseus is run from Kefalonia. A car reaches the launch harbours.
