Pavlopetri

Pavlopetri is an ancient submerged city located off the southern coast of Greece, believed to date back over 5,000 years. It is one of the world’s oldest known submerged archaeological sites, featuring well-preserved streets, buildings, and tombs that once formed a thriving port town. The site was gradually submerged due to rising sea levels after the last Ice Age. Modern technology, like underwater sonar and diving expeditions, has helped archaeologists study Pavlopetri, offering valuable insights into early civilization, trade, and urban planning in the Bronze Age. It remains an important geological and historical site for understanding ancient maritime cultures.
