3. Pavlopetri: The Lost City
Value Estimate Present: Unknown
It disappeared in the year 1000 B.C.
Discovered in 1967
One of the oldest underwater lost cities in the world is Pavlopetri, which lies beneath the sea off the Greek coast of Laconia. The town of Pavlopetri is the oldest in the Mediterranean and is distinctive in that it has an entire town layout with streets, buildings, and tombs. The town design is still in place, even though the buildings have been worn down over time by the water.

Three significant earthquakes caused Pavlopetri to sink in 1000 B.C. The lost city was found in 1967 by Nicholas Flemming and a group of archaeologists from Cambridge University. Despite being designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, thrill-seeking tourists who are looking to find mementos continue to pose a threat to Pavlopetri.
