Greece offers divers access to 91 ship and aircraft wrecks Search for: Greece’s Culture Ministry under the guidance of the Central Council for Modern Monuments is allowing access to 91 ship and aircraft wrecks to recreational divers. Selected by the Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities, which oversees underwater archaeological activities in Greece, the wrecks date back to the 1868-1970 period, predominantly the WW2-era. They are located across Attica, the South and North Aegean regions, Crete, Central Macedonia, the Ionian Islands Region, Western and Central Greece, Epirus, the Peloponnese, and Thessaly. “The seabed of the Greek seas is an underwater ark of our history,” said Greece’s Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni.
