Planning to explore the Sunken City?
There's no better way than by snorkelling. This underwater archaeological site is easily accessible from the beach, so no need to pay for a boat trip or a tour. Just hire a mask and snorkel and start exploring! Even better, when you hire from us, 100% of your money goes to local animal charity, Artamiti.
How it works
Pop into the dive centre, give us a call or send us a message about hiring a mask and snorkel.
Donate €5*, collect the equipment and spend the day exploring the local underwater sights.
Return the equipment to the dive centre by 8 pm on the same day or extend your rental for an extra €5*.
*Per person, per day
Snorkel the Sunken City
Lying just 1.5 meters below water, the Sunken City consists of remains of a Roman Villa dating back to 500 BC. Here you'll see walls, floors and huge amphora pots, which remain largely intact.
You can reach the Sunken City from the beach of Kalymnios, just a short way from the centre of the village.
About Artamiti
Epidavros is home to a surprising number of stray cats and dogs. Artamiti is a small charity set up by a local group to help feed and sterilise these animals with the aim of ensuring that no more are left to fend for themselves.
As local residents and animal lovers, we too want to see these cats and dogs cared for. That's why 100% of your equipment hire fee goes directly to support Artamiti's work.
The Sunken City is just the start...
There's so much more to explore in the waters of Epidavros. If you want to venture further afield and see octopus, moray eels and huge shoals of fish, you'll love our Try Dive experience.
