Particulars

The Zenobia can be reached in 15 minutes from the port of Larnaca. Enter the water and experience the disaster that struck the Zenobia on June 8, 1980. The ship lies on its side in shallow water, with the starboard side at no more than 16 meters. Wreck divers who enter the ship will notice that time has stood still. On the bridge all equipment is still present and in the restaurant you will find kitchen equipment and tableware. The trucks are on deck.

In one room thousands of bottles of ethanol float against the ceiling. Elsewhere there are bones in a trailer, remnants of a cattle transport.
