Samos Mertziki

Samos Mertziki is a beginner-friendly dive site on the island of Samos in the North Aegean. This accessible reef dive features a gentle underwater landscape of scattered rocks and small reef formations over a sandy seabed. The sheltered position provides calm, clear conditions suitable for new divers and training courses. Marine life is diverse and approachable: ornate wrasse, painted combers, and damselfish are common sightings, along with octopus hiding in rocky crevices and nudibranchs on the substrate. Posidonia seagrass beds border the site, sheltering pipefish and juvenile fish. The warm Aegean waters and relaxed atmosphere make it a pleasant introduction to diving around Samos.
