Just off the southern coast of mainland Greece lies the oldest submerged city in the world.

Pavlopetri: The City Beneath the Waves is a documentary exploring the world's oldest submerged city, located off southern Greece's coast. For two millennia, this Bronze Age settlement flourished during the formative period of Western civilization, before sinking beneath the sea. An international team of archaeologists and scientists now employs advanced underwater technology to unlock secrets hidden in the city's streets and stone structures, which rest less than five metres below the surface. State-of-the-art CGI reconstruction brings Pavlopetri back to life, offering the first detailed glimpse in 3,500 years of how the ancient city functioned and appeared in its heyday. The film combines cutting-edge archaeology with immersive visualization to reveal a lost world.
