"Shipwreck Dimitrios"

The ship "Dimitrios" has been washed up on the beach of Selinitsa since December 23, 1981. Much has been heard about this wreck. That it was a ghost ship or even that it was carrying contraband cigarettes. But none of the above is true.
Initially, the crew was forced to sail to the port of Gytheio due to a serious illness of the master and his admission to the hospital. Subsequently, the ship "Dimitrios" began to have financial problems and was abandoned by its owners. At the same time, security measures were imposed by lenders, while, among other things, mechanical problems had occurred.
It remained immobilized in the port of Gytheio for a year. Today and since neither the owners nor any public service was interested in taking care of it, the ship was "transported" by itself to the beach and perfectly in harmony with the natural landscape of the beach! It attracts a lot of people as people combine the observation of the shipwreck and at the same time swimming in the clear blue waters of Selinitsa. The area where the shipwreck is located is called Valtaki!
