Karydi, Porto Koufo & Sartorius Wreck | Chalkidiki’s Combo Dive

Site Overview

Karydi, Porto Koufo and the Sartorius wreck together make Sithonia’s most rewarding dive, combining a steep wall, a deep natural harbour and a cargo ship resting at 18–30 m. The wall drops through clear water dressed in gorgonians, the harbour schools with amberjack and barracuda, and the Sartorius wreck has become an artificial reef thronging with groupers and morays. It is a versatile site: confident Open Water divers enjoy the bright top and the shallow reef, while advanced divers drop down the wall and explore the wreck’s outer decks. With the famous shelter of Porto Koufo and reliable conditions, this is a signature Chalkidiki dive that pairs drama with fish-filled abundance. Karydi, Porto Koufo & Sartorius Wreck (Chalkidiki – Sithonia) sits within Mainland – Northern Greece (Macedonia & Thrace) and is best described as a wall and wreck dive. The water here is typically clear, and the profile — from around 6 m down to 30 m — gives intermediate divers a rewarding range of routes. Among the life you can expect are Amberjack, Barracuda, Dusky Grouper, Mediterranean Moray, Bogue. The site rewards a slow, observant approach, and good buoyancy keeps both diver and reef safe. With sensible planning around weather and boats, it ranks among the more memorable stops on a Greek diving trip.
