## Description

ANDIKAT project aims to develop dive trails in marine protected areas, as a means to promote<br>and protect the natural and cultural underwater heritage in Greece and in Cyprus. In this<br>framework, the Maritime Archaeological Research Laboratory of the University of Cyprus, in<br>collaboration with the Department of Antiquities and the Department of Fisheries and Marine<br>Research, embarked on the project to create the first underwater archaeological park in Cyprus,<br>at the harbour of Amathus.<br><br>The abandonment of the harbour during antiquity created an unusual condition at Amathus: the<br>site is preserved in its original phase without any disturbance from later use, as is often the case<br>with other ancient harbour sites in Cyprus and the rest of the Mediterranean. Moreover, the<br>preserved architectural remains are situated in shallow waters (up to -4m), close to the shore,<br>allowing for easy access to the public. All these features, along with the unique biodiversity of the<br>site, played a key role for including the harbour in the Marine Protected Area of Amathus, and<br>thus for creating the first underwater archaeological park in Cyprus.<br><br>Since this is an open-access site, emphasis was given to personalised visits. Toward that end,<br>the application “Amathus Harbour” was created for smart mobile devices. Remote navigation is<br>possible through an interactive map that provides information complemented with audiovisual<br>media. While on site, the application shows the geographical location of the visitor, indicating the<br>points of interest that are nearby. Users can also enhance the experience of their visit by<br>activating the audio guided tour that will help them discover the most important remains. Walking<br>along the constantly changing coast and listening to or reading about the history and the<br>environment of this unique landscape, visitors may create their own trails, before they swim to<br>have a closer look at the remains of the ancient harbour of Amathus.<br><br>ANDIKAT is co-funded by the European Union and national resources from Greece and<br>Cyprus (Interreg VA Greece – Cyprus Program 2014-2020).
