Pavlopetri is an ancient sunken city and islet off the coast of the Dioskouroi Peninsula in Lakonia, Greece. The oldest dwellings in the area date back to 5000 BCE, and it's believed to have sunk following a series of earthquakes.
During the Peloponnesian War the misthios Kassandra explored the depths of the city, finding among its treasures finery bearing the likeness of the hounds of Hades for the ship Adrestia.[1]
