“Dimitrios” shipwreck

Trivia:

Dimitrios (Greek: Δημήτριος) is a Greek shipwreck famous due to its picturesque location on an easily accessible sandy beach near Gythio, Greece.

There are many rumors about the ship's origins and how it got stranded on the beach.

Most relate that the ship was used to smuggle cigarettes between Turkey and Italy.

She was seized by the port authorities of Gythio and then deliberately released from the port and left to be dragged by the sea to the beach at Valtaki, about 5 kilometres (2.7 nmi; 3.1 mi) from the port of Gythio.

She was then set on fire to hide the evidence of cigarette smuggling.

Another, less common rumor speaks of a ghost ship of unknown origins.
