About this site
Amaras Reef is a reef on Naxos right next to the well-known Marianna shipwreck. It starts almost at the surface and deepens gradually to 18 metres.
On the south side of the reef lie parts of the bow of the Marianna that have broken off from the main wreck, and more pieces, some small and some quite large, are scattered around the reef. A dive here takes about 45 minutes.
