Activity description

Join a guided snorkelling excursion at the stunning island of Patmos in Greece. Welcoming adventurers from ages 5 and up on this family-friendly experience!

Patmos is a small Greek island located in the Aegean Sea, known for its picturesque villages, idyllic beaches, and a rich history dating back to ancient times. It is situated between the larger islands of Leros and Ikaria. The island also offers unique underwater landscapes and pristine Mediterranean ecosystems like Posidonia meadows and impressive reefs. 

The trip begins by meeting the certified instructor at the dive centre in Patmos. After a registration session and safety briefing, you will receive all of the necessary snorkelling equipment (snorkel, mask, fins, and a wetsuit if required). The guide will go through the snorkelling gear’s use. The guide will then drive you to a nearby beach at the Bay of Patmos, where the snorkelling adventure begins. This activity is suitable for complete beginners, snorkelling is one of the most approachable ways for everyone to explore the mesmerising underwater landscapes!

The guide will start with instructions and a demonstration of how to breathe underwater using the equipment. Then, you’ll be able to explore the unique underwater world of the Aegean Sea! The visibility in these waters is excellent, so you will get to see underwater reefs, rocks and sea anemones. In this area, you may spot a diverse range of marine life, including colourful fish, octopuses and sea turtles. After returning to the shore, you’ll use an informative fish identification booklet to identify the creatures that you encountered. The guide will share interesting facts about the sea life, before you return to the dive centre in Patmos.

This snorkelling excursion from Patmos is an insightful and enjoyable experience for groups of family and friends to try while visiting the beautiful Greek island!
