Just off the coast of Elafonisos in Laconia lies a small islet called Pavlopetri — and beneath its shallow waters, one of the most astonishing secrets of the ancient world: the oldest known submerged city on the planet.
A unique underwater archaeological site, Pavlopetri rests just 3 to 4 meters below the surface, allowing visitors to explore its streets and ruins simply by snorkeling. It’s a rare encounter with history, visible through a mask and flippers.
Join us on a journey of exploration with Christos Liagouras, archaeologist and Deputy Head of the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities (Peloponnese Office), and Despoina Koutsoumba, professional diving archaeologist and lead researcher of the site.
