⚓️A PAPHOS LANDMARK⚓️
The Edro III, which can be found perched on the coast by the bay of Peyia, is a notable shipwreck that has become a Paphos landmark. On December 7th, 2011, the Edro III left the port of Limassol, heading for the Greek island of Rhodes. Bad weather conditions resulting from a freak storm, however, damaged the vessel, which then ran aground in the bay of Peyia just north of the City of Paphos. The ship, which was carrying building materials, has remained perched on the coast ever since.
The Edro III has shaped local marine tourism in the area. The rusty remains have since attracted some unique marine life that has helped the site to become a revered diving site. The notable shipwreck lies just 15 metres off the coast and provides a fantastic photo opportunity for several tourists, remaining as the most photographed ship in Cyprus.
