The Lost City of Helike — Greece’s Real Atlantis
Summary
Helike was a powerful ancient Greek city destroyed in 373 BCE by a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami. Once a major political and religious center, it vanished overnight and was later buried beneath sediment as the coastline changed. Rediscovered through modern archaeology, Helike stands as one of the most compelling real examples of a “lost city,” bridging the gap between historical record and legend.
