Authorities on the Northern Sporades island of Alonissos<\/a>\u00a0have announced plans to create an underwater museum<\/strong> around the 5th-century shipwreck of Peristera<\/strong> to be visitable through guided dives.<\/p>\n

The plan, to be run under the EU\u2019s BlueMed program<\/a>,\u00a0was presented at a two-day event organized jointly by the Ephorate\u00a0of\u00a0Underwater Antiquities and the Thessaly Region on the management and preservation of underwater cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is in the next two years to make the country\u2019s shipwrecks visitable, but also to provide important information and raise awareness about underwater monuments, such as the Peristera wreck off Alonissos,\u201d said Alternate Culture Minister Kostas\u00a0Stratis<\/strong> speaking at the event.<\/p>\n

Alonissos is a front-runner in the area of sustainability<\/a>\u00a0and eco-friendly practices<\/a>, with authorities on the Greek island focusing their efforts on developing tourism based on the\u00a0marine\u00a0environment that will benefit the local and national economy without causing damage.<\/p>\n

The proposed underwater museum was tabled after one of the largest Classical-era shipwrecks was discovered off the islet of Peristera in the 1990s\u00a0 at a depth of 25 meters with more than 3,000 amphorae in tact.<\/p>\n

Together with the National Marine Park of Alonissos and Northern Sporades,\u00a0 the first such park in Greece, the plan aims to tap into the island\u2019s natural offerings, the ancient and contemporary shipwrecks\u00a0while raising awareness about the protection of the Monk Seal \u2013 ultimately aimed at creating jobs and boosting the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development of alternative tourism on the island with guided dives at the underwater museum will give new impetus to activities beyond the established tourist offerings and promote the region even more,\u201d said Alonissos Mayor Petros Vafinis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
