Filicudi – Capo Graziano

Detail

Explore the underwater wonders around Filicudi’s striking Capo Graziano, a place rich in history and mystery that has attracted centuries of sailors over the millennia.

This underwater site has witnessed many dramatic events over the years, with eleven wrecks resting on the shoal’s seabed, dating from the 5th century B.C. to 1943 A.D.

Start your underwater adventure from the mooring buoy and let yourself be guided along an exciting path. Discover a lithic anchor and ceramic fragments that tell ancient stories at a depth of about 30 metres, before reaching the observation platform where you can admire the wreck A “Roghi” from the 2nd century B.C., containing about 60 amphorae, located at a depth of 36 metres.

Continue your journey among caves and landslide walls, where you can observe ancient anchors and artefacts dating back to ancient Greek times, such as the lithic anchor “Greca” dating back to the 5th century BC.
