The shipwreck "Dimitrios P." It has been rusting in the dreamy turquoise waters of Gramvousa on the coast of northwestern Crete since 1968 and is a characteristic element of the tiny island, which is a point of attraction for spearfishermen as it is an interesting fishing spot.

The ship left the port of Chalkida in December 1967 on its way to North Africa with a cargo of 440 tons of cement. Unfavorable weather conditions forced it to moor in the bay of Diakofti in Kythira until 6 January 1968.

Sailing to its destination, it again encountered bad weather and therefore changed course, heading for the coasts of northwestern Crete and its two anchors were used in the southern part of the island Imeri Gramvousa at a distance of about 200 meters from the coast.

Due to the bad weather on January 8, the chain of one of the anchors broke, the captain could no longer hold the ship and so the engine room filled with water, forcing the crew to evacuate the ship and go ashore safely on the island of Gramvousa.

The destroyer of the greek Navy force, called Ierax, transported the crew to Souda, leaving behind the shipwreck, which is now a reference point for the area, accessible by sea only by tourist boats departing from Kissamos.
