What you can do here
Suitability is not available for this forecast.
👁 Nice view — The rugged rocky tip of the Kassiopi peninsula between Pipitos and Bataria, below the Byzantine castle. Mostly rock and stone with a small pebbled patch on the west side and a tiny sandy cove; a rocky cliff drops straight into clear water. Quiet and unspoiled with a taverna above.

⚠ Unverified visitor report, not a safety assessment. Water depth, underwater hazards, and current conditions are not checked here — verify them yourself before considering any jump.
