Corfu
Greece · Mediterranean
Corfu sits in the Ionian Sea where Atlantic-influenced currents bring cooler, nutrient-rich water that supports a distinct marine community quite unlike the Aegean. Rocky drop-offs draped in gorgonians, posidonia meadows sheltering seahorses, and seasonal visits from loggerhead turtles make it one of Greece's most rewarding Ionian dive destinations.
