This impressive mosaic of seabed remains comes to life through an interdisciplinary approach that intertwines underwater archaeology, historical geography and geophysics.The book reveals a comprehensive picture of the bay and its hinterland, preserved written sources, new hypotheses about the mysterious "second port of Sozopol", etc.


The book also highlights intriguing discoveries, such as symmetrically arranged structures that shed new light on the ancient Apollonia Pontica puzzle.
