“Olympia” Shipwreck
Amorgos, 840 08, Greece
That February of 1980, northers were blowing at force ten, when “Olympia”, a Cypriot-flagged ship ended up in Liveros Bay. Despite the efforts for a safe anchorage, the miscalculations of the captain lead to a collision into rocks. For forty years now, this silent rusted wreck is at the mercy of the blue sea, being one of the most significant sights of Kato Meria. Footage of Luc Besson’s The Big Blue were filmed here as well.
