PAVLOPETRI GREECE : 6000 YEAR OLD MEDITERRANEAN SUNKEN CITY INFORMS US ON HOW THEY LIVED LONG AGO.

PAVLOPETRI GREECE SUNKEN CITY ORG 

Excerpt: A network of pipes lining the streets indicates there was some kind of plumbing, running water, and perhaps a sewage system. The private homes of more affluent families had two stories, seemingly with roof terraces. The town's wealth derived from its weaving and pottery industries, but most of all it was due to its fortunate location on a natural harbor, making it a port of call with all the associated jobs and income - and probably a lively night life too.

Trading ships from Crete stopped here to load and unload wares  As we know from shards of pottery found here, local artisans made a business of imitating the styles and fashions of fashionable Crete, creating affordable copies and keeping the local citizens on the cutting edge of style.
