Apollonia II Wreck (Makronisos)
The cargo vessel Apollonia II, built in 1955, hit the reef on 10 June 1980. The bow and the stern, the two biggest parts of the ship, lie in relatively shallow water (18-24 m) while the maximum depth is 40 m. Wannadive lists a short boat ride, low current and 10-30 m visibility. It is a post-1970 wreck, so not on the 91-wreck list. The position is the approximate one published by Wannadive.
