Amorgos Shipwreck Olympia
4.9

The Shipwreck of Amorgos, also known as the "Olympia," is a poignant landmark located near Kalotaritissa Beach on the Greek island of Amorgos. It met its fate in February 1980 when the commercial ship Olympia ran aground on the rocks due to powerful winds, reaching up to 10 Beaufort. Originally named "Inland," the ship's attempt to find shelter during bad weather failed, leading to its collision with the rocks. Fortunately, the crew was able to abandon the ship, averting a greater tragedy. Despite its melancholic history, the Shipwreck of Amorgos has become a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors who are captivated by its beauty and intrigued by its story, which has also been immortalized in films like "Le Grand Bleu" by Luc Besson.
