Wreck of a merchant vessel from the late 5th century BC (c. 425-400 BC), lying at a depth of roughly 20-30 metres off the islet of Peristera, near Alonissos. Its cargo of 3,000-4,000 wine amphorae from Mende and Skopelos makes it the largest known transport vessel of the classical period. Discovered in 1982 by fisherman Dimitrios Mavrikis. Opened for diving visits in 2020 as Greece's first underwater museum (Alonissos Underwater Museum), within the Alonissos Marine Park.
