The MV Demetrios ll ran aground on a shallow reef while heading for shelter from a storm on the 23rd March 1998. All crew were airlifted to safety. Amazingly, she has never moved from her abandoned position on the reef since that night, despite being battered by Mediterranean storms and even the occasional earthquake. I have seen this ship on the reef since I first visited Paphos in 2003, and been intrigued how she has been able to remain pretty much intact and bolt upright. The video gives a closer look at her and the condition she is now in, but she must have been built like a tank to have survived this long without breaking apart in the first place.

Also check out my video of the EDRO III shipwreck at sunset, which has become a tourist attraction in the Sea Caves area a few miles to the north of Paphos.
