Greece
Your home away from home.
Greece has for decades been the place that people in the know head to for crystal clear waters, blue skies, secluded beaches and so much more. They flock to Greece to relax, party, enjoy the local cuisine, catch up with old friends. They go to Greece because, well it’s like going home.
Kos Islands
Diving the best sites of the Aegean Sea
Kos Greece is an island part of the Dodecanese. It is the third largest of the Greek islands of the group and the second most popular and touristy island after Rhodes. It is located between Kalymnos and Nysiros. It is very well organised and has everything in terms of tourism infrastructure. The various charms and beauties of the Greek Island are not visible at the first sight but, after a while, the picturesque villages and the fine beaches amaze all visitors.
Kalymnos Greece is a beautiful island of the Dodecanese, close to the coast of western Turkey. It is located between Kos and Leros. The economy of the Greek Island was based on sponge fishing in the past. The island opened its borders to tourism only recently, after the extinction of this activity, and became famous for the rock climbing. This is why the inhabitants have kept their traditional way of life and customs, which is giving to the island a unique atmosphere and a lot of charm.
Pserimos is a small islet north of Kos, between Kos and Kalymnos, about six nautical miles north of Kos. Pserimos is a favourite target of day cruise boats thanks mainly to a single huge, sandy beach set in an enclosed and sheltered bay. Pserimos is supplied by a daily ferry from Pothia, on Kalymnos, but most visitors are those arriving from Kos on daily sea cruise boats that pull into the large and sheltered bay.
Rhodes, Rhodos or Rodos in Greek, is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in Greece and one of the largest in the Aegean sea. It lies between Crete and the near East in the Aegean ocean. Named the sun island or island of light there are hardly any days when the sun doesn't shine.

The Sea Faring Greeks
The Greeks have a sea faring history probably greater than any other nation throughout the world.They have loved the sea, believing it to have godlike powers.
The first descriptions of underwater devices are pointed out by Aristotle as early as the 4th century BC when he describes a prototype diving bell used to supply air for divers using upturned glass jars placed over their heads to contain the air...
Alexander the Great and his comrade Nearch reached depths of 25 meters with the aid of a huge diving bell. This in year 325BC.
In more recent times the rules relating to SCUBA diving in Greece changed.The new rulings opened the waters of Greece for exploration.This means that new and better dive sites are being found by dive centers keen to offer good diving and value for money each summer.
