 Iria

|
Iria is a small seaside village in the Argolis region. Its most distinctive feature is the picturesque fishing harbor where fishing boats anchor, and the first beachside houses, notable for their traditional colors. The village retains much of its local character, with its architecture and the daily rhythms of its residents reflecting a bygone era.
The road to Iria passes through a fertile plain, largely cultivated with artichokes. Most of the village houses are built on a low hill.
The beach of Iria, located just after Kandia Beach, attracts many swimmers. Although it is not organized, it draws lovers of swimming, particularly those who prefer pebble beaches. Along the coastal road, there are numerous tavernas and mezedopoleia where visitors can enjoy traditional dishes and fresh fish.
It is worth mentioning that at the Iria Cape, at a depth of 28 meters, an ancient shipwreck dating to the Late Mycenaean period, around 1200 B.C., was discovered. Significant findings include pottery, amphorae, pithoi, various vessels, and a stone anchor. All artifacts from the Iria shipwreck are exhibited at the Spetses Museum.
