Back to newsA rare dolphin sighting was recently recorded off the coast of Euboea (Evia), one of Greece's largest islands, where a pod of dolphins was spotted diving very close to shore. Witnesses were able to observe the animals from the beach at close range, making for an unusual and memorable encounter. While this event took place in Euboea rather than Crete, dolphin sightings are not uncommon in Greek waters during summer months. Visitors exploring Crete's northern coastline and boat tours operating out of ports such as Heraklion, Rethymno, and Chania occasionally report similar encounters. If you spot dolphins during a boat excursion, keep a respectful distance and avoid feeding or approaching them, as Greek law protects marine wildlife.
