Pavlopetri

Pavlopetri is a submerged archaeological town off the coast of Laconia, Greece, with an almost complete ancient street plan including buildings and tombs. The site preserves at least fifteen multi-room buildings, graves, and storage jars, lying 3–4 metres below the modern sea surface but originally built at and near sea level.

As it stood in 1200 BC

What Pavlopetri looked like in its prime.

Low, rectilinear stone foundations and straight paved lanes form a compact grid beside a shallow bay; pale limestone blocks and packed flagstones define house footprints, courtyards and narrow drains. Large buried storage jars (pithoi) sit in recessed storerooms, and scattered low tomb outlines mark a nearby cemetery. The town terraces gently to the former shoreline toward a rocky islet; sunlight in shallow water would reveal the pattern of walls and streets.
