Kythira

The latest underwater excavation effort this summer on the “Mentor” shipwreck, off the southwestern Aegean island of Kythira investigate whether other antiquities besides the Parthenon Marbles were carried by the vessel when it sank.

This year’s excavations lasted from June 26 to July 12, with efforts focusing on the western boundary of the salvaged shipwreck, towards the bow.

If you are tired of overcrowded beaches and want to experience the magic of the Greek nature without the distraction of a large crowd, you'd do well to stay away from the popular tourist destinations and opt for more secluded spots during your next trip to Greece.
