From the end of August to the first days of September, Turanor Planet Solar, a technological marvel of a boat, has conducted research on the seabed near the Argolida Frahthi cave, found a few minutes outside beautiful Porto Heli. Greek and Swiss archeologists have tried to discover human traces from the paleolithic era. This cave was officially discovered by Adonis Kyrou in the mid 60s, even though until then shepherds used to use it as a shelter for their sheep. If we think about it, people found themselves there even 30,000 years before modern era and utilized the cave as a base for hunting, fishing and food gathering; we’ll see then that this particular location has seen use for the entirety of the history of the human kind. Coming to the neolithic era, its use was expanded and it practically became a residence for the people there, since various tools have been found that tell us that there was an extensive use of the surrounding areas. The boat that helps with the research is a cutting edge solar powered catamaran with equipment that has helped the archeologists not only to find out where they should dive, but also where the sea levels were ten or twenty thousand years ago. With the help of science and the passion of its people, some of the first steps of humans in Europe can be discovered in Greece. Argolida Hotels – AKS Hinitsa Bay
