Hills is a boat-access reef and wall site located in Lefkada, Greece. The topography features a wall that drops to a maximum depth of 30 metres, with shallower areas containing Posidonia sea grass beds. Divers should be prepared for mild currents and variable visibility. Due to the presence of boat traffic in the area, it is essential to deploy a surface marker buoy before ascending and to confirm the surface is clear. This site is suitable for beginners, though divers must monitor their depth gauge closely as the wall drops away quickly. Always coordinate with a local dive operator to confirm current conditions and boat schedules before planning a dive.
