In recent days, two shipwrecks were discovered near the island, dating to the ancient times. Both ships are completely preserved, and there are <\/span><b>no signs of devastation or pillagery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which means that probably no one discovered them before. Therefore, they present rare findings in the Adriatic, making them that much more important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was another shipwreck, which was discovered in 2017. It was researched and protected in the meantime, and its location became interesting to various tourists, researchers and divers. Around the finding, a galvanized cage was installed, through which visitors could see the amphoras in the ship. The amphoras are just calling people to take pictures, as <\/span><b>they are placed in perfect rows, similar to the times when the ship was sailing these areas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The second ship was founded by the local fishermen, whose net got stuck by the amphoras. The ship is <\/span><b>dating to the third or second century before Christ<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is also very rare in the Adriatic. Therefore, \u0160\u0107edro island, along with Hvar island, is becoming an unique diving destination, with two sunken ships located close to each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Finding the preserved amphoras is rare<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and finding the whole ship with them is even rarer. Additionally, as if these findings were not enough, another location of amphoras was discovered recently, near Pakleni otoci. They were discovered by accident, at the depth of 20 meters. Along with the amphoras, a couple of ceramic tableware was found.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These findings are just another reason for visiting \u0160\u0107edro and Hvar island. For anyone interested, getting to \u0160\u0107edro can be done exclusively with a boat. To get to Hvar, there are a couple of ferry routes, most notably <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/split-hvar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split &#8211; Hvar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/split-milna\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Split &#8211; Milna<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalmacijadanas.hr\/otocic-na-juznoj-strani-hvara-postao-je-jedan-od-najvaznijih-arheoloskih-lokaliteta-na-jadranu\/\">Dalmacija Danas<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small islet called \u0160\u0107edro, located on the southern side of island Hvar, has become one of the most important archaeological sites in the Adriatic.
