About this site
Swallow Cave lies along the coastline of Karpathos, an island in the Dodecanese chain in the South Aegean region of Greece. The site sits within reach of local dive boats operating out of the island's coastal towns, in the rocky, cave-riddled shoreline typical of this part of the Aegean. It reaches a maximum depth of around 10 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making it an accessible option for divers exploring this stretch of coast.
