Underwater archaeology continues to yield great discoveries:

According to the ministry, the wreck is dated between the end of the 5th century BC and the middle of the 4th century BC, and appears to have settled on the bottom of the sea intact, since the dispersal of the objects follows the shape of the ship.”

The amphorae were raised between 24-27 September from a depth of 222 meters in a salvage operation by the Underwater Antiquities Ephorate. [The] shipwreck from the Classical era [was] discovered in the narrow channel between the island of Kythira and Neapolis on the Peloponnese in 2019.”
