About this site
Kyra Eleni is a freighter wreck in the Saronic Gulf, resting on a sandy seabed directly opposite Sounio, off the southern side of Patroklos Island. It sank in 1978 in bad weather and is the best known shipwreck in the wider Athens area.
Its location in relatively shallow water, the sandy seabed and good visibility draw divers of all levels, beginners included. The bow lies at 17 metres and the stern at 32 metres, and both are good for photographs.
Small and big fish shelter inside the hull, but most divers are content with a look around the outside. Penetration is limited, especially at the stern.
