Lybian Shipwreck - Agios Gordios, Greece - Shipwrecks on Waymarking.com

This shipwreck can be found at the beach about 300 meters north of the restaurant Black Rock, which is the northernmost building at the shore of Agios Gordios. From here you can climb over a small rock and from there it is an easy walk on the beach.

The ship is maybe 20 meters long and most probably used to be a Lybian fishing vessel, at least it has an Arab name. Also the eyes on the bow seem to be an original feature.

The unconfirmed story of the ship: It was used to transport illegal immigrants from Lybia to Italy until one day the engines broke and the crew and the passengers were saved by the Italian coast guard. The abandoned ship found its way to the Greek coast after a while and has since developed into a minor tourist attraction. I have no information about the dates, but according to the timelime on Google Earth the ship arrived between July 2013 and August 2015.

Date of Shipwreck: 2013-2015? Type of Boat: Powerboat Military or Civilian: Civilian Cause of Shipwreck: Abandoned ship as flotsam Accessibility: 24/7, but better during daylight Diving Permitted: yes
