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.
