On the reef called Myrminx or Lefteris, in the narrows between the west coast of Skiathos and the east coast of Pelion, one can see the remains of a stone column. It has been conjectured that this may have been a memorial put up by the Persians to commemorate an engagement between three Greek ships and ten of their own. Another school of thoughts (Lykoudis) holds that it was some kind of seamark, possibly even a lighthouse, built by Xerxes' expeditionary force. If the second theory is correct, it makes this the oldest seamark in the world, since it predates the Pharos at Alexandria by about two hundred years.

Shipwreck “Vera"

Reef "Leftheris" or "Myrminx"

Το φορτηγό πλοίο “Βέρα” προσάραξε στον ύφαλο Λευτέρη το φθινόπωρο του 2000. Λίγους μήνες αργότερα έσπασε στη μέση και βυθίστηκε. Σήμερα βρίσκεται βυθισμένο σε βάθος 25 μέτρων. Η πλώρη του στέκει σε όρθια θέση, ενώ η πρύμη του λίγο μακρύτερα ακουμπά στο βυθό με το πλάι της. Με το πέρασμα των χρόνων έχει γίνει φυσικό καταφύγιο θαλάσσιας ζωής. Το γεγονός αυτο σε συνδιασμό με τη μυστηριακή ατμόσφαιρα του ναυαγίου και το ιδανικό του βάθος, δημιουργεί τις προϋποθέσεις μιας αξέχαστης κατάδυσης για αυτοδύτες όλων των επιπέδων.
