Kastri
Part of an ancient amphora grown into the reef
Kastri is a reef dive on Lefkada built around a large rock split by cracks and swim-throughs. The usual dive stays within 18 m, part of an ancient amphora has become one with the rock, and sea breams, parrotfish and groupers are everywhere.

The dive
The dive starts in the shallow water of a sheltered bay and works out to a large rock cut through with cracks and swim-throughs, with the site reaching 25 m. Sea breams, parrotfish and groupers teem around the rock, and a fragment of an ancient amphora lies grown into the reef.
