Amphoras

Description

The name of this site derives from 17th century shipwreck of a Turkish vessel with cargo of amphorae containing mercury. Amphoras lies southwest of Tower, on a line with the northern tip of the Ritz Carlton hotel, and is also accessible by land. The topography is quite simple: there is a sandy slope that begins at a depth of about a dozen meters and has some coral pinnacles of various shapes with a crust of a huge number of multicoloured Alcyonarians belonging to Dendronephthya genus, that create a sort of magnificent garden. read more »
