Breakwater

Coast guard officials on Tuesday retrieved the body of a man floating near the breakwater of the Alimos marina in the southern suburb of Palio Faliro.

It is the second body found in a space of a few days in the wider area.

Sources from the coast guard said the man was about 1.80 in height, aged between 35 and 40, had black hair and wore a wedding band.

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen using cutting-edge technology to investigate the Corinthian port of Lechaion uncovered a well-preserved wooden caissons and also found that the port’s entrance canal was larger than previously believed. Lechaion is just one of the two Corinthian ports active from the 6th century BC to the 6th century AD.
