The main attractions you will see:
Edro III Shipwreck
The ship EDRO III, flying the flag of Sierra Leone, was laden with plasterboard and ran aground near Pegea on 8 December 2011, while sailing to Rhodes from Limassol. There were 9 crew members on board at the time of the wreck. The crew was rescued and evacuated to Paphos by a British-owned Phantom II helicopter. EDRO III weighs approximately 2,345 kg and is 80 metres long. According to the Cyprus Marine Environment Protection Association, the ship is completely free of cargo and fuel and lies on the sea cliffs at an angle of 11-12 degrees. Landing on the ship is no longer allowed as it is dangerous. Together with CIMEXTA, the German ship-lifting company, the tasks of safely removing residual diesel, hydrocarbons and other marine pollutants from the ship and sealing the hull were assigned to the Cyprus Ship-lifting Company. All tasks were completed in October 2013.
