Olympia

Olympia, Cruise ship in Aegean Sea, Greece

The Olympia is the wreck of a cargo ship built in 1950 in Goole, England. It lies grounded in a bay on the southwest coast of Amorgos, in the Cyclades, at a position of roughly 36.79° N, 25.76° E. The hull rests in the water where it ran aground on 13 February 1980.

The Olympia was a cargo ship built in 1950 in Goole, England. On 13 February 1980 it ran aground and was wrecked in a bay on the southwest coast of Amorgos in the Cyclades. The stranded hull has remained there since, and Luc Besson later filmed scenes of his movie The Big Blue at the site.

The wreck lies in a bay off the southwest coast of Amorgos, in the Cyclades. Luc Besson filmed scenes of his film The Big Blue here, which brought divers and film enthusiasts to the site. Today local dive centres on the island run excursions to the wreck.

The wreck lies in a bay in the southwest of Amorgos, in the Cyclades, at a position recorded as 36.78875, 25.75734. It is an underwater site reached by boat, so diving is organised through the island's dive centres. Sea conditions in this exposed southwestern bay can turn rough, so check the weather before setting out.
